From Hawthorne to Hemingway: Great American Short Stories It's actually quite boring. yuck - I just pulled up the table of contents and I agree. It seems that they think that there were no "Great American Short Stories" written after around 1920... IMO - American short stories didn't hit their stride until between WWI and WWII. Faulkner, Oates, Pynchon, Vonnegut, Cheever, Updike...those are the great American short story writers IMO

Yeah, most of the short stories I had to read for my grade school English classes were more interesting than this crap. I need to find something else to read ASAP.
See, I had originally given it to my grandma as a Christmas gift last year. When she died this summer I got it back. Holy cow, what was I thinking?? :/

In the past two months I finished re-reading the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King. I read The Regulators next, then Desperation and I just finished the full unmodified version of The Stand (1,367 pages).
Now I don't know what to read....LoL...Already read the Sword of Truth series twice...

I just finished reading "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway last night, and I re-read "The Fellowship of the Ring" over the weekend. Now I'm re-reading "Neuromancer" since it struck me as a book that you can soak up more than once and still get fresh details.

Finally started Brave New World. I've had it on my desk for quite a while now.

I'm thinking of checking out, 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.' I'd love to try a classic with a twist!

It's good. There is also Sense and Sensiblity and Sea Monsters, too.

I've been rereading my HP Lovecraft: Complete and Unabridged collection recently. To my knowledge, it lives up to its title and contains all of his works, including some early drafts of some material that never got published. I know of some of the other authors who wrote some stuff in the Cthulhu Mythos, but I don't know which one to check out first.

August Derleth is a pretty good bet, especially considering he was pretty much responsible for keeping Lovecraft in print.

The Shining by Stephen King, I'm about 3/4 through it.
After that I'm going to try the finish Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Linsey ( exactly 1/2 way through that), and maybe after that, Dexter in the Dark.
That is, unless I find another book by Poppy Z. Brite. She's my favorite writer ;D
