Pre-Valentine Reading 2009



Nothing But You: Love Stories from The New Yorker
Edited by Roger Angell

I have so far read fifteen of the 30-odd stories in this collection, and each story has been a marvel. Not every tale here is about romantic love, which makes it even better. Some great modern and contemporary masters, such as Cheever, O'Hara, Munro, Updike, Marquez, and Nabokov are here. And so are lesser-known writers.

Even just halfway through the book, I can already say I highly recommend it.
