• Week 32: Short Stories

  I'm reading a book my dad gave me that's a collection of short stories. It's really good so far (I'm about 3/5 of the way through), although I guess that isn't surprising given the title "The Best American Short Stories." The one I have is for 2010. The weird thing is, I recognized one of the stories: "Safari" by Jennifer Egan.

  When I was at Michigan, I would sometimes walk through the MechE building on the way to the bus stop or some such. There was this area where people would put free reading material that you could take. Usually it was just extra copies of some scientific journal or other, but once it was an old copy of The New Yorker. When I left, I brought the issue with me on the plane and one of the stories in that issue was "Safari."

  Odd coincidence. *shrug*
