Anything by Hans Christian Andersen will fall into this category. And any Brothers Grimm story, too, most likely.
Interesting. I'll disseminate the link to Dalhouse article, as I think it can be of good use to some folks.
Ahhhhhh, nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Oh yeah, you're right. Sorry, was just skimming and didn't read all the rules. My bad.
You'd almost have to pick all "Complete Works" I would think...
1. Complete works of Shakespeare
2. Complete works of Hemingway
3. Complete works of Mark Twain
4. Complete works of Ambrose...
Hm, learned something! Cool.
Anthem by Ayn Rand is a quick, fun read, albeit a fictional work.
He's one of my faves, and a master craftsman, IMO. Catcher is full of symbolism, and if you read it only literally, you miss so much of its intended impact. His other collected work is similarly...
I found the story. It was collected in an anthology of First-Published stories by various writers. I'll be performing it on frankmarcopolos.com soon.
Cheers,

I'm trying to find a short story by William Faulkner entitled, "Landing in Luck." It was his first published story, in 1919. I can't seem to find it collected anywhere, nor as text on the web (it's...
Depends on the quality of the narration. For me, if they're done well, they're easy to follow, if not, then not.
Silly Goose.
I love audiobooks. It's one of the reasons I started doing audio versions of public-domain short stories on my website.
Two of the most awesome performances I've heard are Douglas Adams performing...
I believe the Twain quote was made in jest. As for the rest of your point, I can see what you're talking about, however, that kind of art, whether it be in print or on film, does not appeal to me. I...
For me, there has to be SOME point to a story, some reason why the writer is demanding my time to listen to his tale. What that is is less important than that it be there. AHWOSG, for example, is...
Yeah, I know. That's not my point. To me, style for style's sake alone wastes my time. Your mileage may vary.
I have not read What is What. After AHWOSG, why would I be fooled again? I disagree with your statement above in that story is story, for postmodern, modern, postpostmodern, or any other kind of...
Eggers is all style and no substance. He has nothing to SAY. (Except maybe, Worship me, Hipsters!) Which is why I can't stand him.
Agree with hellsapoppin... Cask is the greatest story on the subject. Audio version of the story comes out tomorrow on my website.
David Eggers
78. Just kidding. Usually 1 fiction and maybe 1 or 2 non
This is a great topic. I think in general it's great to let 5-10 years go by before re-reading a classic novel. What happens for me is that my life experiences have changed me so much during that...
I would agree with mayneverhave and Desolation. It doesn't matter what D's personal beliefs were. Judge the work on its own merits, as its own world. Leave the Creator out of his Creation.
Hi, I'm a fiction writer and podcaster living in Brooklyn, NY with my pet goldfish, Fred. I've been doing some audiobook-style podcasts of public domain literature on my website, and I've been really...
