I got behind on my review posts too, and finally gave up and started with current reads.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075517088896664743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-34030661841339882202008-11-20T14:09:00.000-06:002008-11-20T14:09:00.000-06:00BooksPlease--Yes, I think it's very true what you ...BooksPlease--<BR/>Yes, I think it's very true what you say about short stories. I usually find it hard to stick with an entire collection, right through to the end. Also, short fiction can sometimes pack a much heavier emotional impact than longer works. So it's better to sample them a few at a time.jlshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268434704970729620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402592.post-91434066378642118242008-11-20T13:51:00.000-06:002008-11-20T13:51:00.000-06:00I'm very behind with writing reviews as well - sti...I'm very behind with writing reviews as well - still as you say the world isn't waiting for me to produce anything. And also like you if I don't write about them soon after I've read a book I forget the detail and that's the main reason I write my blog! <BR/><BR/>I haven't read anything by M R James but having read your review I think I really should. Those stories sound creepy indeed. I find with all short stories that I can only read a few at a time or I get tired of them. It's a very hard thing I think to write a really satisfying short story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
