Short stories are becoming addictive to me. Read Lily Daw and the Three Ladies by Eudora Welty. It is good!

Welty's stories are great Chrissie, such a strong narrative voice!

If you haven't read it yet, there's a another famous Welty story written from the point of view of a teenaged girl, "Why I Live at the P.O." It's one of her stories that many people like: http://art-bin.com/art/or_weltypostof...

[Chrissie]

Greg, I have read an anthology of Welty--Why I Live at the P.O. and Other Stories and that story is in it. At least when I read it, it did not speak to me. Anyhow, thank you very much for thinking of me!

I have been trying to get The Optimist's Daughter free online too, since it is only available abridged at Audible. If you happen to have a link to it free online, please tell me. I am pretty bad at finding things.

[Greg]

I just finished my re-read Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems - I love it, especially the final section "Journey to Love" that he dedicates to his wife of many years.

I am also getting close to finishing Middlesex, a beautifully written book with a great story though quite long.

After that I can focus all my energy wrapping up my re-read of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

I finished One Flew a while ago but have been meaning to write a review for it, will probably sit down tonight and do it.

That's great Alannah - I feel pretty sure I will give it the same rating you did, based on what I have re-read so far. The quality of the writing itself is very high - close to poetry in terms of vividness of imagery, cadence, and consistency of perspective.
