If you're on vacation, how about reading short stories? At Perpetual Folly, Clifford Garstang is blogging his choices of the New Yorker's best stories of 2007, and links to each story at the end of his own thoughts on each tale.

Read the stories he considered before narrowing it down to a top 5 list. He invites you to vote your favorites in the blog's right column.

Paging though them would be a fine way to spend a quiet winter night, especially if it's your first downtime in a while. Print them if you want to curl up by the fire with paper.


Note: I found this post because Clifford was suggested by LinkedIn as "People you may know." I don't, but, following a profile link to his blog, I fell into this rich cache of reading.

I'm not sure how LinkedIn made the connection, and I suppose we don't actually know each other, but you've mentioned me and Perpetual Folly before - a couple of years ago when I blogged about the death of Arthur Miller. Thanks for the mention - your idea of reading through the stories is a great one.

I knew your name was familiar, but I deliberately didn't look that way. No matter who else you are, I wanted to blog this series, so different from the tech blogging that is so much easier to find. Thanks for compiling the stories to read, for thinking about all thist and for coming by.
