I am planning to read a lot of short stories this year (2-3 per week). The idea is to cover a diverse range of authors, genres and cultural contexts in a short period of time.

I will use this thread to keep track of the stories I read.

Doing something like this for the first time, let us see how it goes.

I finished listening to the "Sherlock Homes : The definitive collection" brilliantly narrated by @stephenfry. 60 hours of pure bliss. I am tempted to go back and listen to it all over again :)

One thing that stood out was the rich description of the characters, scenes etc.. In a few short sentences (or dialogues) the characters and the scenes are so vividly described.

Day of the Jackal is such a meticulously crafted movie.. a cat and mouse chase.. a procedural that doesn't omit even the tiniest of the detail yet keeps us at the edge of the seat.. even after 50 years it still feels fresh
