Caution: You should have a brake already figured, like an unavoidable appointment, if you dont want you fingers to crazily move onto the next pages.

Recalling a time that repeats, a color more vibrant and extant in imagination, a townful gaping at gulleywasher, how lies start for one - these shorts make themselves known like electric pulses.

Days at the beach are all the same - Low Tide at four, Harriet Doerr

But the story my grandfather never told was his own - Good workers, John T Price

Its in a neighbour's house fiction begins - The Bend for Home, Dermot Healy

..when people are dead they dont read books. This I find unbearable. - Nearing 90, William Maxwell
