The Complete Stories

Author	Zora Neale Hurston
ISBN	0060921714

I was surprised to find I really enjoyed these stories by Hurston. I haven't read anything by her since Their Eyes Were Watching God. These stories were very engaging. For a black activist and feminist, I found her stories very entertaining.

John Redding Goes to Sea was sad.

A. Milne. Williams shows how Pooh--referred to here as...

The Best Short Stories of Mark Twain

This unique collection of Twain’s essential short stories and semiautobiographical narratives is a testament to the author’s vast imagination. Featuring popular tales such as “Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog” and “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg,” as well as some delightful excerpts...

Beneath The Planet of The Apes

Author	Michael Avallone
ISBN	0553080334

Since I am a huge science fiction fan I had to read Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It’s the last book of the series, which were movies before. I was sucked into this book very quickly and finished it in two days between reading other books. Packed with heroic action and cheesy romance, the story delivered...

Le Mariage de Figaro

Author

Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais

Forcé de parcourir la route où je suis entré sans le savoir, comme j'en sortirai sans le vouloir, je l'ai jonchée d'autant de fleurs que ma gaieté me l'a permis ; encore je dis ma gaieté, sans savoir si elle est à moi plus que le reste, ni même quel est ce Moi dont je m'occupe : un assemblage informe...
