One of my FAVORITE writers. I have this in hardcover First Edition, in F/F.

Cheever is a wonderfully nuanced writer.

"Goodbye, My Brother," and "The Enormous Radio" are classics of American Fiction, in my opinion.

Pretty sure I've read "Enormous Radio" before, but just downloaded it from here:

http://web.sbu.edu/english/faculty/m...10/cheever.htm

to re-read.

I sure wish more short story collections were available as ebooks. sigh.

The one available for Kindle was published in 2008 and lists 1152 printed pages. I assume that is the un-edited version.

There were at one time two available for the K.

It should clearly state, "The Complete and Uncut Edition" just inside the cover.

I started it again last night.

What cover? There is no cover on an eBook...

BOb

BTW: Reading iRobot by Cory Doctorow (short story) in the mean time.

Just started Connie Willis' Blackout. It's a new book featuring Oxford's time-traveling historians.

Ooh, that sounds interesting. Please let us know what you think.

I just started "Her Master and Commander" by Karen Hawkins. My local library has an ongoing book sale, and some wonderful historical romance reader dropped off a crate of their books, and they are all fairly new releases. I had to hold myself back, but I did get five titles, including this one.

I am about to read that, too. I also got some of her backlist and was dismayed to find many errors in Firewatch---missing punctuation, odd characters etc. Very disappointing.

I'm sure Connie would be (probably is) mortified.

I noticed that Amazon now had several of her older books available but no Doomsday Book.

Just finished the last (until May) Sookie Stackhouse book. Charlaine Harris certainly believes in a full stop, doesn't she? The last two in the series I kept hitting the page turn button and wondering why nothing was happening, because "it CAN'T end there"!

I got books for Valentine's Day, so now I have an embarrassment of riches, and can't decide what to start next.

The uncut version I read was earlier than this, BOb, but the page-count suggests the one you have your eye on is the full monty. As others have said, though, it's as well to check (not that the shorter version isn't a darned good job, too -- I rate this title as King's best). G'luck. Neil
