i didn't know exactly where to post this one, but the entertainment section also mentions "books" so i guess it's right here.

i'm obsessed with short stories at the moment.

to me a good short story is comparable to a good song.

but what makes a good short story in you opinion?

do you have any short stories you just love?

one of my favourite two short stories are "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" and "For Esmé - With Love And Squalor" both by JD Salinger.

has anyone read them? they're simply brilliant.

why's nobody interested? :cry:

 

or could anyone move it to the lounge? :thinking:

i like the stories of the book tales of the unexpected by roald dalh, are mistery one, some of them really scary :uhoh:

The best collection I've come across is an anthology of Hugo winners from the 60's. (Hugo is THE big award for scifi books, movies, ect.) There are some brilliant ones in there- completely mad in the best way possible.
