Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

I've read it however I'm going to have to leaf through the pages before I can vote...If I can't remember something so new I'm guessing I wasn't in love with this one.

Ditto this.
Tough crowd. I went with a four mainly due to The Gingerbread Girl.
I loved the Gingerbread Girl, but that was all. So it gets a 2.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I thought this one had some strong stories, and some very forgettable ones.
Strong: "Willa", "The Gingerbread Girl", "N", "A Very Tight Place" (one of my favorites by him)
Medium: "Rest Stop", "Stationary Bike", "The Things They Left Behind". "The Cat From Hell", "Mute"
Forgettable: "Harvey's Dream", "Graduation Afternoon", "The New York Times At Special Bargain Rates", "Ayana"
I'll have to give it a 3.5 and round it up to a 4.
the only two stories I liked were Rest Stop and Mute; Willa was ok, but, like the rest of them, somehow underdone.

I enjoyed rest stop however I think it's only because I live in Florida and can really visualize what he was talking about. The whole thing was just kind off blah.

A good but not great collection of stories.

Holy shit.
A Very Tight Place.
One of the Never Read group for me, in fact, I always forget that this book exists.

'hum' I cant believe I have never read this. I always thought I had, but went to Wiki and nothing sounded familiar????
I think you have read it, but then it was completely erased from your memory, like it is from mine
