Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories by Flannery O'Connor, Robert Fitzgerald
5.0

Reading this for the second time! March, 2011
So. I'm done - still love it, still one of my favorites. But I noticed this time around that reading these stories actually made me feel cheerful. WTF does that say about my state of mind right now???

I've never been a big fan of short stories. Maybe it's just that I hadn't read Flannery O'Connor. Thanks to Lost, that's no longer the case. I freaking loved this book! Every single story was engrossing and I could not put it down. As I was reading, I had this feeling that I just couldn't shake, like something really bad was about to happen. Ah yes, that would be impending doom. It's not too often a book provokes a visceral reaction in me, but this just blew me away.

There wasn't a bad one in the bunch, but my favorites were The Lame Shall Enter First and A View of the Woods.
