Short stories - I have one with just a line I remember - "her fragrance is like the morning when papayas are in bloom." I have Jeffrey Archer's Collected Short Stories with Old Love as my fave from that book. There's Leo Tolstoy's How Much Land Does a Man Need? which was my report in World Literature class, (hence, I didn't forget, hahah!) and Poe's Ligeia for my taste for gothic horror.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866700983578714993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191396899650989619.post-20673096956917977702021-05-02T06:29:44.824-04:002021-05-02T06:29:44.824-04:00I am reading --- Bijou Roy by Ronica Dhar
