Favorite Short Stories

[Ex Deo]

Seeing as how most of the threads I start don't really seem to get off the ground, I figured that I'd keep with that trend by starting this thread. If you can't tell what it's for by the title, then please shoot yourself.

I've been reading much more short fiction since beginning college, and here are some of my favorites so far:

Edgar Allen Poe- The Fall of the House of Usher
The Cask of Amontillado

Nathaniel Hawthorne- Young Goodman Brown

John Updike- Walter Briggs

Washington Irving- Rip Van Winkle
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

John Steinbeck- The Chrysanthemums

Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron." Though I think I missed the point, because I laughed. Can be found in his short story collection, Welcome to the Monkey House.

And Miranda July's "Something That Needs Nothing." She's the one responsible for 2005's "Me and You and Everyone We Know," which is definitely worth the watch. "Something," I believe, was published in The New Yorker.

All of the Ray Bradbury books are my favorites. I esspecially like the the ones from The Martian Chronicals and one from The man in the White suit called A Summer in a Day. (very sad things he writes).
