I am becoming a lot more friendly towards short stories, so it's nice to know that, so far at least, that appears to be his major genre. I'm looking forward to more of your reviews. seaswell you’re welcome and thanks for surfing mine as well; happy to know it was pleasant.

You really should check out the Jim Spehard book - it's the best I've read this year, i think. His other collection of short stories, Love and Hydrogen, would also be a good place to start. In any case, I review a book once a week on my blog - please come back and visit! Thanks for visiting my blog, Imani – and I enjoyed surfing around yours.

Re-reading is such a wonderful thing, and yet it's the new books that draw us most of the time, isn't it? Well, your post captures the dilemma or re-reading, doesn’t it?

But, first on the docket, my signed copy of Beasts, by Joyce Carol Oates. *swoon* I love the woman and the book!

Quite a list of books you're tempting us with! I am also hoping to try another Coetzee this year - I loved Disgrace but haven't tried another. Re-reading is a fabulous idea.
