" Though in the last year or so I have read a number of books that were collections of short stories, This is still not one of my favorite genres. These stories were sometimes odd and though the characterizations were complete and interesting, at times I would get to the end and say "Huh?" I did enjoy a few, though. (Especially "Meals on Wheels", "The Telephone Man", "Lonesome Without You") And all of the stories had that Southern character that mixes humor with eccentricity with pathos. I'm wondering if this wouldn't have been a good book to listen to rather than read in order to make the most of that underlying character. "
