Great Short Short Stories: Quick Reads by Great Writers

Good read for these virus times. Great selection of authors and short stories. I’m enjoying read authors I haven’t previously read.

Lektüre eignet sich gut zur Erweiterung des englischen Wortschatzes. Die -ansonsten gelungene - Auswahl der Kurzgeschichten erfolgte vorzugsweise aus dem angelsächsischen Sprachgebiet. Anderssprachige Literatur (französische, italienische, deutsche u. a. m.) kommt dabei zu kurz.

All the stories in this book are written way back in time, in older style English....i found it very hard to get into as i like to read and turn my brain off a bit....but these stories require you to be 'on'.They are classic stories, but not my cup of tea.....if i want to read old English I will go and get a classic Charles Dickens novel and 'go there'.

Great reading once you get into it. However the 19th century English can be a bit offputting at first, but superb use of the English language

Great selection. With other residents of our independent living facility we are holding weekly discussions of assigned stories. We are off to a very good start.
