Currently reading the autobiography of Malcolm X, I just finished Angela Davis' autobiography which I can highly recommend and so I kind of slopped on over to this one. Its great.

A young girl living in NYC!? I was a young man living in NYC, and I thought "Bright Lights, Big City" captured that time very well (as I am no longer young, it is all pre-cellphone, pre-internet, but I imagine it still gets the club scene,dating scene and the publishing world exactly right). Greatest city in the world, and I STILL miss it. I would not trade my time in that town for anything.

Have fun. There is a lot of fun to be had there.

Makes you wonder why nobody went to jail during/after the financial crisis of 2007-2010, from which the world economy has not yet recovered.

LOVE THIS!!!

Best short story ever written. I vividly remember my sister coming home from school and pulling out a book and saying, "You have to read this story!" I read it on the spot, sitting on her bed. This story (along with Bradbury and later Vonnegut) made me want to be a writer.

I was first exposed to this story in my middle school Spanish class when the teacher would play it for us. In high school I found a copy of the book in the school's library. I checked it out so many times I was sure they would let me keep it. I've got a copy of this story in a few anthologies from college, but not this collection. A friend gave me an Amazon gift card and I was like... hey... I can finally get my own copy of this book... so I did.

I totally agree with you. This is the best short story ever written.

Oh... and as a bonus... I'm going to teach it to my up-coming 7th graders next school year.

They are lucky to have you to teach it to them, and you are lucky to get to teach it.

Teachers are the unsung heroes of our nation. Thank you for what you do.

Another favorite short story: Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong by Tim O'Brien, from The Things They Carried. Vietnam war stories. Frikkin amazing book.

I vividly remember having this read aloud by my fifth-grade teacher, and going on to read a few more of her stories in the coming months, which I don't remember as well.

About a week later, there was a power outage at my late-afternoon Hebrew School, and we sat in the dark classroom for maybe the last 45 minutes waiting for pickup. One of the parents who came to pick up was my friend's uncle, who must have been a high school senior. He had just memorized "The Tell-Tale Heart" for a theater audition or performance, and gave us the scariest imaginable rendering of that story. In the dark. I can still hear the old man's heart beneath the floorboards to this day.

This thread...
I have six words from this book stenciled on my bedroom wall: "This lovely world, these precious days."

My wife and I read this book to our kids, and when she started reading the paragraph that ends with those words, she started crying and handing the book to me, and I got choked up too.

A perfect book. Every single sentence. If you have kids, read it to them.

John Adams....David McCullouch

The best book I have read on a president save Sandberg's "Lincoln." It also shows just how important his wife Abbigail was. Convinced me she could have been a president, and in some ways, was.

Not that kind of girl ~ Lena Dunham
Gold Fame Citrus

From the cover: "Unrelenting drought has transfigured Southern California into a surreal, phantasmagoric landscape. With the Central Valley barren, underground aquifer drained, and Sierra snowpack entirely depleted, most “Mojavs,” prevented by both armed vigilantes and an indifferent bureaucracy from freely crossing borders to lusher regions, have allowed themselves to be evacuated to internment camps. In Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon, two young Mojavs—Luz, once a poster child for the Bureau of Conservation and its enemies, and Ray, a veteran of the “forever war” turned surfer—squat in a starlet’s abandoned mansion. Holdouts, they subsist on rationed cola and whatever they can loot, scavenge, and improvise."
