But I’m quite happy that I’m left optimistic. I would definitely go on to find more good short stories and I would read more of Carver’s stories in the future, including his famous What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (which I just borrowed from library in My Mistress’s Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro edited by Jeffrey Eugenides). Be assured that I would talk about short stories again in the near future. I start to keep track of short stories I read in my Books Read in 2009.

A great accomplishment for me, as I read 39 books in 2008 and 20 books in 2007. I’m not sure if there would be a significant increase next year, because this feels to be my limit. I have spent most of my spare time reading and blogging. Anyway, quality over quantity I say!
