Stort Stories

I like reading short stories. Fits with my attention span. ;)

Here is what I'm reading now:

Secrets From the Vinyl Cafe - Stuart Mclean. This is the third book in the Vinyl Cafe universe that I have read(ing). I was a bit disappointed to see stories from previous installments (Why pay for something you already have?) but still quite enjoyable as in each story a character holds a "secret." I am about halfway through.

My wife likes to listen to me reading Cafe stories at bedtime. It puts her asleep. Or is it my voice?

One Last Good Look - Michael Winter. This is my first book by Winter, but it won't be my last. I was familar with his local success, and when I saw this story collection in the bargin section at Chapters, I thought, "What the hell?"

It took a minute (or two) to get use to Winter's rhythm and lack of puncutation, but I am really enjoying each story and experience of Gabriel English, the main character throughout.

The next time I am at Chapters, I may buy Winter's novel "The Big Why." Again bargain book, and hopefully a gem.

Why do I Need to Create This Blog?

Welcome to my second blog. I thought one blog would be enough! Anyway, I thought this "space" could be a place where people could post comments and opinions about "books I'm reading now."

When I type books I mean all different kinds: novels, poetry, nonfiction, picture, historical, biography, etc.

You get the picture.

I hope many people view this website/blog and share what they are reading. It may interest, enlighten, and expand readers' interest.

Welcome,
Chris
