Carpe Diem!

Been a long long time since I've read a book this fast! Loved it. A completely new style of story telling - through letters. Love my friend for sending it to me - the best surprise gift I've received in ages. Thank you! Finally rediscovered my love of reading and stopped brooding over my laptop.

For those of you who haven't read it yet, I highly recommend - "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society".

Literature

Of all the formats, I like the short stories the best --to me they are the most entertaining. Just recently a friend reminded me of one of my fave (if you are reading this Kavi -- thank's again!). Its hard for a good author to lose creativity over the span of a short story and inevitably they are the most "can't put 'em down till you're done". There are some which ramble but still end up being an absolute "story to retell". The unexpected in the ending of short stories is what appeals to me most -- I love surprises!
