One of my favourite books that I can re-read over and over again. An inspiring, humorous and sometimes disgusting look at the different aspects of human emotions as portrayed through a number of short stories.
I greatly enjoyed most of this collection of short stories. They had a very human feel. Resolutions were not always realized but seen as works in process. I found the situations and treatments of them glaringly real. This collection has the 'Everyman' feel to it. A wonderful read if you're rooted in the real world and enjoy human character studies.
