I've been really into short stories again; ever since Miranda July came out w/ her collection. This Canadian writer reminds me of her; not as quirky but a little more skilled in the art of literature. He probably got an MFA in short fiction and maybe these stories were his thesis and he polished them for publication. I just get that feeling.

I am reading this very slowly in order to savor the book.
FABULOUS stories. Each time I finish reading one I am moved, emotionally, intellectually; I think, I could do this (if I had time, if I MADE the time) but maybe not. Who knows. ANYWAY, highly recommended. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40067511 to: Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life (Hardcover) by Jamie Oliver
Earlier this year I woke up at 8:15 a.m. (needed time to make coffee) to watch this all-too short half-hour series on Saturday mornings. I reveled in his country house, garden, woods, his two damn fine kitchens; ugh. He's an inspiration for my future life in Asheville. I looked forward to this book coming out in the U.S. for so long; Christmas came early! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78641643 Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Paperback) by Seth Grahame-Smith
