World classics, known and unknown literary masterpieces, and modern experimental titles are all represented in what's quickly becoming the most comprehensive (and most saucy) short fiction anthology. Sweet dreams. literature, short, stories, fiction, reading, books Miette Miette miette@miettecast.com no no Raymond’s Run http://www.miettecast.com/2008/12/11/raymonds-run/ http://www.miettecast.com/2008/12/11/raymonds-run/#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:13:53 +0000 miette http://www.miettecast.com/2008/12/11/raymonds-run/ A disclaimer: the Wiki says that tonight’s story is… how to put this… Big in Middle School Circles. But don’t let that put you off (especially if you yourself run in Middle School Circles, or are Big therein). I can be as big of an arrogant elitist as the next lady when it comes to my own sometimes obscurantist needs, but as anyone with a well-rounded appreciation of fiction, I can sit back and take a closer look at the forgotten gems of Middle School. Like those jelly shoes that ladies my age are supposed to nostalge about.

Because we can reminisce about all these things, or read lines like this and put our hands up in admission of the ageless:

“It’s about as real a smile as girls can do for each other, considering we don’t practice real smiling every day, you know…”

That’s pretty good, right? Happy wintertime.
