Lately, I have been reading more short-stories/compilations as I don't seem to have the time or commitment for anything longer.
A couple I'd recommend:
A Good Man Is Hard To Find and other stories by Flannery O'Connor.
Twisted, Southern, bible-belt fiction...at it's best! Hard not to read with a Southern drawl in your mind...kind of depressing stuff though.
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Short and relaxing with a slew of great characters that you'll wish you knew...and might remind you of people you do know.
If your into fishing, particularly fly-fishing, you can't go wrong with any of the John Gierach books...Even Brook Trout Get the Blues or The View from Rat Lake are a couple that come to mind.
The River Why by David James Duncan and A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean are also books that I've enjoyed.
