16: “Black Water 2, More Tales of the Fantastic” loved it, full of surprises and delights from authors I've never heard of and authors most have — Arthur Conan Doyle, F Scott Fitzgerald, E B White, Joseph Conrad, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Margret Atwood, George Bernard Shaw , Arthur C Lark) — and stories too , like Melville's Bartleby.

"The Complete Gentleman” turned me onto Amos Tutuola, who I'm now reading in full.

And a story from Isabell Allende?! Nice.
