Ten minutes to write. Less time to read.

I’ve kept this email in my inbox since June of 2014.  It’s a link to an article titled “14 Brilliant Pieces of Literature You Can Read in the Time It Takes to Eat Lunch.”

Isn’t that a wonderful way to feel erudite in a short time period?

Authors such at Margaret Atwood (she of the perplexing tome), John Updike (he of Rabbity fame), Lydia Davis (whom I don’t know), Sandra Cisneros (whom I know peripherally), Ernest Hemingway (whom everyone knows), and nine other equally renowned writers offer short stories that make one think.  Perhaps they also make one’s lunch taste better with the savoring of wonderful words of all types.
