I just finished Bad Monkey. I have to read the releases after that.

On a short story kick. Ivan Turgenev "Bezhin Lea" and " Kasyan from the Beautiful Lands". Three by Chekhov. Hemingway, four but the best "The Snows of Kilimanjoro" and "Hills Like White Elephants". Reread a couple of Flannery O'Connor stories. Waiting for the complete stories of Borges to be delivered Sunday. That will be all until I get to the library for Calvino "Invisible Cities" and Guy de Maupassant short stories.


Ps I'm not trying to be pompous.
