I really liked "The Tooth" and "Pillar of Salt" perhaps because of the hint of myth and legend.</p>Patti commented on 'Note to self:'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2010536302c19970c2008-12-02T01:42:04Z2008-12-02T01:42:04ZPattihttp://www.ficklewords.comI'm glad you are feeling better!

<p>With the holiday and everything, I got behind anyway. I'm going to keep blogging about them just so it's finished. I hope you keep going though because you have given me a lot of insight into the stories that I wasn't able to see myself.</p>
<p>This has been such a great experience!</p>gailg commented on 'Note to self:'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20105363015b4970c2008-12-02T01:01:21Z2008-12-02T01:01:22Zgailghttp://www.gailgauthier.com/blogger.htmlDoes this mean we're done?

I just have to read the last short story, "The Lottery," and I'll have finished the book, and I'll do a post about it, too.</p>
<p>This has been a great experience for me, Leila. I think (and hope) it's helped me professionally in terms of understanding short stories. I've seen things that I'd read about but that hadn't really registered with me.</p>
<p>So thanks for getting me started on this. I tried rereading Jackson a few years back but would never have gotten into it if you hadn't started this.</p>tulip commented on 'Note to self:'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20105362ed6d1970c2008-12-01T16:32:23Z2008-12-01T16:32:24Ztuliphttp://budgetnaginata.blogspot.comI'm glad you are better!

I just thought it was funny that we/you never discussed the titular story! :) Or did I just miss it? <br />
I loved the read. It was a great compliment to the Lottery, which I was already familiar with. I'm glad for the big reads because I read even when you don't discuss.</p>Leila Roy commented on 'Note to self:'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2010536267f77970b2008-12-01T14:18:07Z2008-12-01T14:18:07ZLeila Royhttp://profile.typekey.com/leilathegreat/Novels are better for me when I'm sick because I need to know what happens next, so I can't put...<p>Novels are better for me when I'm sick because I need to know what happens next, so I can't put them down even if I want to.</p>
<p>Assuming that the novel is good, of course. And assuming that I'm halfway through one. Starting one when I'm sick... that's a whole other story.</p>Brian F. commented on 'Note to self:'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20105362e8c8e970c2008-12-01T13:56:17Z2008-12-01T13:56:17ZBrian F.http://assumecrashpositions.wordpress.comI would think a short story collection is the best thing to have when your attention span is perforated by...<p>I would think a short story collection is the best thing to have when your attention span is perforated by illness. Much easier to pick up and put down.</p>
