Does your attention span wane during the sultry summer months? If you can't wrap your head around a novel when it's just too darned hot, why not try reading short stories? We have a book display of short story collections located in the front of the library titled "Summer Shorts". Last time I checked, we had a great selection from which to choose including Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (Pulitizer Prize winner), The Book of Other People edited by Zadie Smith (includes stories by Edwidge Danticat, Jonathan Safran Foer, Colm Toibin and Jonathan Lethem and many more) and My Sherlock Holmes - untold stories of the great detective edited by Michael Kurland. If you don't find something on display that piques your interest, we have a whole aisle of short stories from which to chose.
