This was a cool collection of stories (almost like parables?) by some great authors. I loved switching between authors and characters through out the different stories. The authors all did a great job of bringing the characters to life in such a short time, and they had such good everyday life wisdom weaved in all the stories.

I quite liked this for such a short story. It took about 5/10 minutes to read but it's certainly left me wondering what happens next. The only problem with that is that the author no longer sells the book as individual stories and has done a revised edition with all the different parts in one full story.

I was going to give it 3.5 stars until that bit at the end, which boosted it up half a star--just because I didn't expect it. I can't go into details without ruining it, which would be a shame because I thought it was well thought out and written.

A nice short story with slight BDSM themes.

"Such a tremendous collection. It’s fascinating to see how Eric Rohmer translates his own short stories into these films. His work with Nestor Almendros is so beautiful and simple, and the films are such profound and witty examinations of self-deception. Because I’ve been greedy in choosing these, I haven’t allowed myself to choose The Adventures of Antoine Doinel."

"Silas Marner was probably on the 1945 high school curriculum because it was short and not about sex. I hated it — didn’t have a clue what it wasabout. Eliot (real name Mary Ann Evans) writes with a dry, adult humor and depth of experience of pain I could only appreciate when I finally finished growing up."
