    <body><![CDATA[In my Top 10 of All-Time.  Continuing in the &quot;bad health equals exceptional writing&quot; that Emily Dickinson started some 60+ years before...

    <body><![CDATA[So, in total we read 2 novels and 4 short stories from this collection.  Strange, weird, boring, offensive, and confusing.  It was an interesting experience, but I can't say I really enjoyed O'Connor's works.  Not my type of literature.  ]]></body>
