The feel-good place to buy books
Great Short Short Stories by Paul Negri
To buy books would be a good thing, observed Arthur Schopenhauer, if we also could buy the time to read them. All devoted readers long for more time to spend with their books, and the next best thing to buying time is making the most of the available moments. Great Short Short Stories: Quick Reads by Great Writers offers that opportunity. An outstanding collection of 30 brilliant short stories, each just six or fewer pages in length, it provides the chance to absorb an entire story (or two or three) in just one sitting.Well-known tales from masters of the short-story genre include: Mark Twain, The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County; Franz Kafka, A Country Doctor; Edgar Allan Poe, The Cask of Amontillado; Guy de Maupassant, A Piece of String; Stephen Crane, The Veteran; Kate Chopin, A Pair of Silk Stockings; plus works by Dickens, O. Henry, Chekhov, Wilde, and many others. Includes 2 selections from the Common Core State Standards Initiative: A White Heron and Cask of Amontillado.
