Yeah... pretty nerdy. Anyhow we have a thread for "book" suggestions. Here is one specifically for short stories.
I just read "Girl With Curious Hair," part of a compilation of short stories by David Foster Wallace (yes, the same author whose book I suggested in the other thread.) I\'m feeling terribly unsettled after reading it; this is probably a good sign. Punkrockers, ***, a pyromaniacal young facist, a Keith Jarrett concert, etc... yikes.

I always LOVED stephen Kings book called "night shift" It\'s a collection of some 40 short horror stories. That and my complete works of edgar allen poe are the best I\'ve read in a while.
I plan on getting a collection of jack londons work soon, I remember really liking his short stories as a kid.

Check out Jack London\'s essay "The Yellow Peril."
:rolleyes:
(Yeah, I loved Call of the Wild too.)

"Voodoo Heart" by Scott Snyder is wonderful. its a book of 6 or 7 short stories that really moved me. I know Jim Cobb has read them also as we both know the author.
I also always loved "Jacob\'s Hands" by Aldous Huxley and Chris Isherwood
and of course, "The Illustrated Man" by Ray Bradbury is legendary
