Hi I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a book of short stories. It is for a girl around 20, so maybe that will help.

I Will be adding more blogs in the future. Thank you very much for any help Team Liquid.

What does she like?

There's books with short stories of Sherlock Holmes, they are entertaining and you can read each story in about 30' or maybe less.

Richard Russo - The Whores Daughter

The irony in the title is amazing, but seriously the stories are so well written. If she isn't very smart Stephan King - The skelton key, but very scary, but super creative/entertaining.

I think "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov is just fantastic. Collection of thoughtful and touching short stories about robots and their relationships with humans. Bears no resemblance to the dumb ass movie of the same name. F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tales of the Jazz Age" is pretty good, I like anything of his.

I would recommend High Lonesomehttp://www.amazon.com/High-Lonesome-Selected-Stories-1966-2006/dp/0060501200/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221302546&sr=8-3 since it's for a young adult girl. Joyce Carol Oates often writes realistic stories about girls, women, and difficult situations.
