I nominate The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories by Ernest Hemingway. At 160 pages, it's much more suitable for holiday reading than the massive 600+ page Complete Stories.
Amazon US / Barnes & Noble / Google Play Spoiler:

Fine by me and yes, Complete is big, but since it's short stories this month no need to necessarily finish it to discuss stories in it.....
Besides it seemed to me that desertblues was suggesting "The Elephant Vanishes: Stories" by Haruki Murakami which besides the title story it has The Second Bakery Attack and Barn Burning Quote:
I could withdraw my nomination and suggest this one for DB |

I don't think that elephant was planning on vanishing - it had co-ordinated its outfit beautifully to match that of desertblues, so it wanted to be seen. |

Tom, I've understood your purpose. My idea was to change Kenny's nomination to the shorter version and have it supported by you and me so that it is already fully nominated. That's why I asked if this would by fine by Kenny.

I'll third Shifu. For those Amazon readers, I don't think it available from Amazon as an ebook.
Does that make 10. |

I think I'll vote for "Dubliners," since I would like the participation to be one conducive of respect toward other member's opinions.
If this choice wins, then I can be absolutely assured of that. Too, I read this years ago and would like to have the opportunity to re-read it. Excellent: The poll is closed and "Dubliners" it is. Don Last edited by Dr. Drib; 12-05-2013 at 06:44 AM. |
