It's October, and you know what that means. No, I don't mean fall foliage,
Halloween,
Oktoberfest, the
World Series, scintillating political debates, or
the continuing collapse of the financial markets. We're talking National Reading Group Month--at least according to the
Women's National Book Assn. They even have a list of
Great Group Reads, but, alas, it doesn't include any short story collections. I can think of at least
a dozen books that would fit the bill.
