I've never liked short stories as much as I probably should, mainly because they are often too short and leave me wanting more. Alice Munro is frequently described as the Queen of the Short Story and by golly, she is. It's no wonder she won the Nobel Prize; her writing is just stunning. If all short stories were like these, I'd be a convert for sure. Didn't read much this past week as I was away at an activity camp with 37 10 & 11 year olds, so the short stories were perfect for the small bits of free time I had (they aren't really THAT short - there's only about 10 in the book).
