In this blog, I intend to write thoughts and feelings upon reading Alice Munro.

I don't want to make any rules for this blog, because I just want to enjoy writing it. It's not really a review blog so much as a "personal feelings and reactions" thing. It could be anything from brief notes and quotes to long personal rambles. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, if you want to share in the comments.

I've studied English literature, but I'm not really very academic, and I'm a very emotional reader. So the point is not to try and wow anyone with my intellectual interpretations. Munro's stories tend to get under my skin and the characters stay in my mind, and more often than not, I can relate to something in the stories. This is what I hope to share with this blog.

Why Munro? Short answer: Because her stories have everything.

My favorite stories at the moment, in no particular order:
The Love of a Good Woman
Eskimo
Open Secrets
Soon
Accident
Powers
Trespasses
White Dump
Rich as Stink
Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage
The Bear Came over the Mountain
Dance of the Happy Shades
The Time of Death
Some Women
Child's Play
Basically all of the stories about Rose.
