I love reading. I read more than three hours a day. I hope to encourage someone to read the books I discuss. My favorite genres are classics, plays, children's books, and short stories.

Brigitta and other tales
I read the novella Rock Crystal and loved it. So I decided to read more by Adalbert Stifter. This contains four stories by him. Two stories were ok. The others were great. "Abdias", one of the ok ones, is about a guy whose daughter is blind and she recovers. "Limestone" is about a priest and this was the worst of them. However "The Forest Path" was fantastic. It was really cute. It's about a wealthy hermit who is a hypochondriac. He is cured when he meets a sweet country girl. The other one "Brigitta" was great too. It's about a good looking guy who has had lots of girls who finds himself returning to the plain wife he left years ago. I really like Stifter and I'm going to read more by him.
