It took me a while to get a book that I could take with me in Connecticut. I wanted a book with short stories. I wanted it quick. But there's too many people inside the bookstore. A good business, I guess. I was tempted to ask a staff for help because I needed to catch my train ride, but he's busy checking on the barcode scanners and people kept coming still. People here love to read. Biographies. No. Fiction. No. Too many to choose from. They should have a specific section for what I need, I thought. Then I found it and I found one. Granta 101 is the very first book that I have purchased for myself here in the U.S.. And I bought it not because I like it but because it has what I need. A number of short stories that I can read to Grandma. Granta is, in fact, a magazine of new writings. Granta 101 is but one of their many compilations. The book, it turned out, is pretty interesting. Literature and a little photography. The style of the book is pretty new to me and it seemed to have a promise of a good read. We will see. I am into Cathleen Schine's novel, The New Yorkers, right now. Another grab from the bookshelf here in Connecticut (my 4th novel in 2 weeks). But I have to review the Granta 101 in a while so I know what to read to Grandma. The New Yorker is a good book but it's a novel. I'll stick to Granta for Grandma. |
