Book 5 was Reasons to Live, a book of short stories by Amy Hempel. We found it poignant and occasionally ridiculous. Check it out on iTunes, Google Play, or SoundCloud. #1001books #readtheclassics #shortstories #bookpodcast

EvieBee Seriously though, that sangria in a can. 🤤 7y

"He wondered how we know that what happens to us isn't good." This is the last line of the short story "The Man From Bogota" from this collection. I love this story and this thought. #BestLastLines #MarchIntoReading

Not that this cover is all that bad, but it could be better. The short stories found within are amazing, from the hilarity of life to the death of life.

kyraleseberg Oh my goodness I'd forgotten all about this book. It's amazing. I remember I read it in high school after seeing Chuck Palahniuk recommend it. 8y
beccaeve @kyraleseberg That's how I came upon it too! It's one of my favorites. 8y
beccaeve This is probably my least favorite cover for this book. I'm not sure why they made it the cover. It's sadly the most popular cover. 8y
