One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak
5.0
This is not going to be a good review: not because I feel like half-assing it, but because I don't have much reference to base and compare my thoughts. I tend to avoid short stories (outside of SciFi), partially because I enjoy longer developed stories, and partially because there is always the chance for a lemon in the bunch (which would leave a bad taste in the mouth).
As I paged through the table of contents, all of my apprehensions evaporated. Apparently, while there are some full length short stories, there were a number of 1/2 pagers. After getting a taste of about 12 of these, I decided to try something a bit longer (Kelloggs'), which I feel to be among my favourite top 10 of all time Short stories (Once Again, SEE ABOVE).
If you find yourself in a bookshop, page through the stories that last a few pages- you will definetly be convinced.
