  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  In this Century Men still control almost all of ‘who’ and ‘what’ gets published.  It is an unfair world but these male authors are also very gifted and none could argue with their status here.  Their stories throw light onto the ills and dark corners of societies flaws and the damning rules that oppress the many.

  This doctor daddy is ALL IN for his curvy patient. 
   
   
   
  Healing takes time. Whether it's a broken bone or a laceration, patience is potent medicine. The same goes for relationships. 
   
   
   
  I moved back to town hoping to patch things up with my son. Imagine my surprise when I meet his gorgeous best friend on the exam table at my OB/GYN office, hell-bent on ditching her V-card as quickly as possible. 
   
   
   
  That's not going to happen. 
   
   
   
  As her doctor, it's my duty to advise her to make safe choices about her wellbeing, and she deserves better than a drunken fumble with a careless frat boy. She deserves a man who will take the time to honor every inch of her luscious body. And I'm prepared to be whatever kind of man she needs. 
   
   
   
  Because if anyone's claiming Natasha's V-card, it's going to be me. Her best friend's father—a.k.a. Dr. Daddy. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Watch With Me - and Six Other...

  Wendell Berry

  This volume of six linked stories and the novella from which the book derives its title is set in Port William from 1908 to the Second World War. Here Wendell Berry introduces two of his more indelible and poignant characters, Ptolemy Proudfoot and his wife Miss Minnie, remarkable for the comic and affectionate range that—with the mastery of this consummate storyteller working at the height of his powers—here approaches the Shakespearean. 
   
   
   
  Tol Proudfoot is huge, outsized, in the tradition of the mythic. The three-hundred-pound farmer, personally imposing and unkempt, is also the most graceful of presences, reserved and gallant toward his tiny wife, the ninety-pound schoolteacher. 
   
   
   
  Their contrasts are humorous, of course, and recall the tall tales of rural Americana. In the novella Watch with Me, we are given a story of such depth, breadth, and importance it earns being listed as one of the most important short stories written in the American language during the twentieth century.
