| | 2. |  | Independence Day
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
In "Independence Day", Richard Ford's depiction of post-marital devolution (divorce) parallels the lack of marital (or life) bliss shown in other classics: John Updike's "rabbit run" or John O'Hara's "Appointment in Samarra."
This book's protagonist, Frank Bascombe, is not another Harry... more info

| | 4. |  | The Sportswriter
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I am only giving this book two stars instead of one because the author does have some talent. However, that said, this book was so dull that I only got a little over half way through it before giving up, though I really tried to give it a chance. The story lagged and was painfully dull and none of... more info

| | 5. |  | Winesburg, Ohio
from Caedmon
Price: $34.95
Customer Review:
It isn't often I get frustrated with any classics, but Winesburg, Ohio was different. It has some moments where it just seems to get lost in the prose (the only problem is that I mean this literally). While, there are some interesting moments about George Willard, his family and those who live in... more info

| | 6. |  | The New Granta Book of the American Short Story

Customer Review:
There are some amazing stories in this anthology, and not just from the usual suspects. Sherman Alexie, Mary Gaitskill, Robert Stone, Julie Orringer, Matthew Klam, George Saunders, Denis Johnson, Lorrie Moore -- each story is good, each is completely different, and there has got to be something for... more info

| | 7. |  | Rock Springs
from Vintage Contempories
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Having just finished a standard tourist guide to Wyoming that rightly sings the praises of the uplifting value of the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, et al., I thought it would be useful to read another, entirely different "guide book." I have read most of Richard Ford, including "Rock Springs", which I... more info

| | 8. |  | The Granta Book of the American Short Story
from Grove Press, Granta
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
The short stories are wonderfully written, and, because they are from the last fifty years, no archaic words or phrases get in the way of good story-telling. As most of these stories aren't included in the "typical" anthology (though many of the authors are), the reading experience is like spring... more info
