I bet it has been over 30 years since I read short stories and I bet I plowed through them when I was young. Interesting how reading tastes and styles change.

I suppose that's another advantage of reading them. They're short enough that one is able to do that.

Maybe it was reading some of your stories at your blog on a regular basis that pushed me in the right direction. And I have sampled some of Patti Abbott's stories online also.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-42255494392183906822015-02-28T08:31:44.563-08:002015-02-28T08:31:44.563-08:00Love that cover, I'll look the book up, but ho...Love that cover, I'll look the book up, but hopefully will restrain myself from buying!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-51174319861227592292015-02-28T07:59:55.538-08:002015-02-28T07:59:55.538-08:00Tracy - You're absolutely right that different...Tracy - You're absolutely right that different people can have very different reactions to the same story. I know I've had more than one instance of really disliking something that my bookish friends loved, and <i>vice versa</i>.You never do know. I'm glad you liked this one better the second time around.
