Best American Short Stories 2000

Checked this out of the library, on CD. It was really nice to have somebody read me a story while I did computer work. THere were some really good stories on this collection.

It surprised me, because I had read a lot of them before. I thought I hadn't seen anything from the last 30 years. But it turns out I had! Imagine that.

My favorite one from the collection, I hadn't acutally read. "Pet Fly" by Mosely. It was a great story about this guy trying to get the rhythm of corporate life.

My life is a lot of corporate nonsense.

This story tells how a regular guy sees a glimpse of the underbelly. i really liked it. I had to go find the print version of it, so I could give a copy to a friend dealing with the same sort of nonsense.

Turns out the paper version has even more stories in it. I'll have to read them.

Speaking of "Best of..." the Pulitzer Prize announcements are tomorrow, 7th April at 19.00 GMT. As always, I have my eye on the best novel Prize: I'm pulling for Jeffrey Eugenides's Middlesex.

Any other wild guesses?

Man, you have me beat...I really don't even have an idea about what was written in 2002...

Maybe someday, I will get through enough of the Classics to move on to books from my own lifetime.

Maybe.

Wahoo! Can I pick a winner or what: Middlesex won! Congrats Jeff!
