Why I'm Waiting:
I love short story collections. It makes me think of Flannery O'Connor and I always enjoyed reading her short stories. These sound like fun stories to keep with you for those times you are stuck waiting with old magazines.
What are you waiting for?
Hmm I'm not a big fan of short stories, but it sounds great! Nice pick :)

Oh nice. I don't usually read short stories but lately I've been trying a few here and there they're great as a break from hefty novels.
