I hope you like the stories. The book is quite old and might be hard to find, but it's worth it if you can! Thanks for the comments! I hope you like the stories.

Percepts won't do for me so I guess I'll have to buy the books. My stories are still drafts so I have a lot to learn. I wanted to read short stories, didn’t know I would stumble on these big books.

If you read only one of his novels, try 'Solomon Gursky Was Here' -- wonderfully poignant and humorous. He was a huge anglophile, splitting his time between Montreal and London for much of his adult life. Mordecai Richler is perhaps my favorite author.

I'd like to read about 4 hours every day if I had time. Interesting that you include blogs - I was thinking just of books, but I guess that's very old-fashioned of me :-) Hi Claire
