Nice to see people shouting out Flannery O'Conner. As a tour guide I take people by the house where she grew up, but I've stopped pointing it out to them because no one, save an English teacher from Tennessee, ever knows who she is. Dubliners by Joyce and A Moveable Feast by Hemingway stand out as my favorite collections of short stories. Also Baudelaire and De Maupassant as far as French writers go.
