Complete Sherlock Holmes

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Doubleday, 1960

Sherlock Holmes can do no wrong
This is a classic. Sherlock Holmes is my favorite detective of all time and this book will have a permanent place in my library. I do not mind the small print. I love the convenience of having all his works in one volume.

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

BOND IN SHORT
This collection of Ian Fleming short stories is a must have for any Bond fan. I have been discovering Fleming since the release of the film "Casino Royale" and have found his books to be not only thrilling but also very well written. His prose is as lean, hard and ...

The Complete Stories

Franz Kafka

Schocken, 1995

A Treasure of Madness
Kafka is still "the rage," one supposes, but it is hard to see how, now that he has become an icon. This is a fabulous collection. Updike is right that these stories are excellent. Kafka has had enormous influence on modern fiction. He may be one of a handful of highly ...

The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition

Ernest Hemingway

Scribner, 1998

BEST COLLECTION YET BY FAR.
We go through literary phases in our society with some author being "in" while others are "out," and sometimes these phases swing from one side to the other, much as our government does. At present we seem to be going through a period where Hemingway is "out," and to ...

The Complete Stories

Flannery O'Connor

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1971

One of Two Must Own Collection of Short Stories
The other is Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things. I know this may seem odd to have O'Connor, the genius of revealing the inner workings of the human, beside Gaiman, but if you read Gaiman the connections are there. I'm all about getting readers from different disciplines and ...

Easy to see why Twain is one of America's Classics

The Complete Shorter Fiction of Virginia Woolf: Second Edition

Virginia Woolf

Harvest Books, 1989

Wonderful first steps to understanding Woolf
Woolf is not typically known as a writer of short stories -- "sketches" as she called them. However, the short fiction that she wrote provides a wonderful introduction to her narrative style. The early "Mark on the Wall," "Kew Gardens," and "An Unwritten Novel" give ...

Classic Philosophy: Complete Dialogues of Plato, in a single file, with active table of contents

B&R Samizdat Express, 2007

Excellent value for dollar
I got my Kindle 2 weeks ago and am still learning its uses and limitations. As I build my e-library, I wanted to get some of the great works. I read the prior negative review but got this edition anyway. I figured that 99 cents was worth the gamble. And for me, this ...
