Clicking on ads here I found a site that about the author of Marathon Man, David Munroe and it has links to 3 short stories in pdf form written by him. I know a lot of people don't like reading online but you can always print them out for reading later right?
Do you think you will read the short stories or print them out? Do you enjoy reading short stories?

Yes i must say that short stories are my favorite...They can be read in a nice length of time,and thats what i love about short stories....I have read long novels and i find it very hard to put them down,and i often neglect important things so i can read..When i start a novel i just hate to stop,so short stories fit me much better....It leaves out the junk and gets to the point and to me that is what i like....

Reading novels are great but short stories occupy likewise a special place. The short story is a very convenient literary form in our very busy lives. You can read it one sitting and the challenge to the writer is to be able to convey a significant development or a change in the main character within the span of a few pages vs. a sustained effort on the part of the novelist. The best short stories make us connect with the characters and give us illuminating insights about our world.

Yes, I do enjoy short stories if they are interesting. I particularly enjoy the ones by J.California Cooper. They tell a story, but you get a lesson from it as well. I will also check out the link here and thanks. javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMainContent$lbStart','')

Oh I love short stories. I read them online all the time. Problem is, I never have time to read anything other than the articles of my friends on Associated Content. I read their content all day practically. I do this so that when I publish something new, they will read mine too. I have no idea why I do this since all of my articles get way more page views than I get in comments from my friends. LOL
