Landmarks of Science Fiction
You'd never guess from looking at the bookstore shelves today, but collections of short works like these used to be the mainstay of science fiction. Tor Books deserves kudos for bringing this collection of classic novellas from sf's Golden Age back into print, and in ...
The Uncommon Reader: A Novella
Alan Bennett
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
, 2007
uncommonly good
One of the best books I've read in a long time. The only negative is that it's too short. I wanted it never to end. It was a treat.
PLEASURE OF MY COMPANY, THE: A NOVELLA
Steve Martin
Hyperion
, 2004
Wild and Crazy OCD Guy!
The Pleasure of My Company is a funny novella by famed comedian Steve Martin. Who can forget the arrow in the head and the King Tut song. Now in his 60's, Martin is pursuing other outlets with novels and plays. This is the first of his novels that I have read and I ...
Different Seasons (Signet)
Stephen King
Signet

King, Master of Non-Horror
Nobody creates an imaginary world like King. All the talk of him simply being a cheap thrills reader falls flat when held against Different Season. This is one of King's finest achievements. A collection of four novellas written at different points throughout his ...

The Elephanta Suite: Three Novellas
Paul Theroux
Houghton Mifflin
, 2007
Innocents abroad
This is my first Paul Theroux experience and even though I can now see how he is as much acclaimed as a travel writer as a straight novelist, reading this book left me with a feeling of great unease and just a bit scared. This trilogy of very loosely connected ...
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Truman Capote
Vintage
, 1993
Pure Genius
Arguably the greatest writer of the 20th century, the only misfortune of Capote's work is that there is not more of it. In this somewhat peculiar collection of stories, Capote demonstrates his command of the written word. While one tale gives the book its title, ...

On Chesil Beach: A Novel
Ian McEwan
Nan A. Talese
, 2007
The power of words. The power of misunderstanding.
In "On Chesil Beach" Ian McEwan, as usually, delivers what expected of him. Exeptionally good literature, exceptionally good character study and background. Florence, a violinist, and Edward, a historian, young college graduates and, what is more important, ...
Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street (The Art of the Novella series)
Herman Melville
The Art of the Novella
, 2004
I would prefer not to
The strange behaviour of the main character 'Bartleby' in this short story can be described as 'perfectly harmless passivity': 'I would prefer not to.' The reason for this behaviour lays in the fact that Bartleby was suddenly removed out of the 'Dead Letter' office in ...

Gabo is great from the beginning

Great Stories!
Fantasy has four short stories in it and I loved every single one! The Widow's Auction by Sabrina Jeffries is about a lonely widow who on her friend's urging disguises herself and puts herself up for auction! A one-night only bid that for Isobel Lamberton will ...
The Auditor: An Instructional Novella
James K. Loebbecke
Prentice Hall
, 1998
Good Information for New Auditors
This is a nice resource for audit students or new auditors. I doubt it would be entertaining for most others. The book was written as an "instructional novella" for students and it offers some good information on public accounting audit careers. The story ...
Oregon Brides: But for Grace/Everlasting Hope/Beside Still Waters (Heartsong Novella Collection)
Tracey V. Bateman
Barbour Publishing, Inc
, 2007
Still on my mind....
I love both historical fiction and Christian fiction and this book (set of three stories) has stayed with me the last few days since I finished the last heart-wrenching story of the Riley family. I loved these stories so much that even though I have been a member of ...
