(An hour or so later)
I'm I the only one tired of the same old names? Sure, the greats are greats, but it gets a little old after awhile.
Probably why I've spent the past year and half reading nothing but short stories. I subscribed to a few literary journals and scored gold at the library's used booksale: about a dozen volumes each of the Pushcart Prize, O Henry Awards and Best Am Short Stories. Oh, and a fat stack of Grantas. I went home that day with about 800 short stories, the vast majority of which were written by people I never heard of.
Anyway, I saw one of my bookshelves--the one I've actually been reading from--and felt dumb having written anything about the same old names.
