I would love either The Model Millionaire, by Oscar Wilde or
The Bohemian Girl, by Willa Cather.

I follow.

“The Missing Statues” is my favorite, too. “Tiger, Tiger” was actually the only one that didn’t thrill me. I love Simon Van Booy’s writing!!

I’ve been following you through google reader for a while, although I seldom speak up. I’d love to read any of those collections. Top choices would be Cather, Wilde and the Russians.

For me, this year I have been making more of an effort to read more short stories and poetry; so, this contest is perfect timing. Have you read “My Mistress’s Sparrow is Dead”, a short story collection put together by Jeffrey Eugenides yet–I’m currently reading that.

Anyway, any of these sound good to me but my first choices would be Wilde or Tolstoy. Thanks for this giveaway!

A Disgraceful Affair, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is what I am interested in. I do follow via google reader.

Your review for Love Begins in Winter compels me to read it. I like the passage you quoted. Short powerful, descriptive sentences.

Off to tweet about your contest.
