Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed reading, and it probably is impossible not to recognize Haruki Murakami's stories.

Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed reading, and it probably is impossible not to recognize Haruki Murakami's stories.
I love Julio Cortazar's short stories. I wouldn't know which one to choose, though! I'd recommend two books with short stories: "Bestiario" and "Historia de cronopios y de famas" ("Cronopios and famas").
Without a doubt, my favorite short story is Octavio Paz's "The Blue Bouquet." Anytime I am stuck with my own writing, I go back to this story, and think seem to open up for me.
I thought at one time there was a full text version online, but I just tried looking and couldn't find it. It is definitely worth checking out for fans of magical realism (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) and even modern disturbing surrealism (Brian Evenson).
"Die Verwandlung" ("The Metamorphosis") by Kafka.
I also enjoyed Annie Proulx' 'Brokeback Mountain' a lot as it's so different to the film.
Oh, and I like Charles Bukowski. ;)
Charles Bukowski...did he write Fight Club? I have never read it, but I saw the movie. It was a little weird.
I recently read a small bit to Twain's Letters from Earth, I thought it was so funny, but I have no idea where to find it. Maybe I'll search Google.
Twain's Letters From The Earth is here on this site
