Bringing to our meetup.

I am a big fan of short stories - except for Alice Monro's. Dunno why I don't like her stories...and she only writes short ones. Some great authors here including: Shields, Atwood, Bissoondath, Findley...and of course...there's a Munro.

'Taking to Mainz, Germany today. I will catch up on the stories I haven't read yet, on the plane. I have noticed a typo in every story I have read so far. (It is a review copy - I guess that's to be expected.)
