I did enjoy a fair few of the other stories, but I might well have been better off reading a collection I already owned.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-91114591583952769482017-06-14T12:57:36.983-07:002017-06-14T12:57:36.983-07:00This does sound good but I have too, too many book...This does sound good but I have too, too many books of short stories on the shelves. I have learned to love short stories, but then of course I go overboard buying more and more short story books.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-99208480065745122017-05-29T21:35:42.031-07:002017-05-29T21:35:42.031-07:00Well you forced me to look Michael Cera up.
