Rating 5/10

Day 10: The Gernsback Continuum

by William Gibson in Burning Chrome

Sci-Fi Sunday.  I really enjoyed this story.  The imagery of the futuristic architectural style of the 1930's was something I had never really thought about.  It tied neatly into a quick story that I really enjoyed.

Rating: 8/10

Day 9: The Schreuderspitze

by Mark Helprin from Ellis Island

We are starting this collection as well as a collection by Alice Walker.  We will alternate stories from the two books with the exception of our Sci-Fi Sunday and O'Henry Friday.

This is may favorite story so far.  Another longer story that deals with lose and how a person moves forward when they have lost everything.

Rating: 9/10

Day 8: Between Rounds

by O'Henry from 100 selected stories.

Ok...so far my two least favorite stories have been the O' Henry stories.  I will continue with the O'Henry Friday for another couple weeks but if they stories don't get better, I might abandon him on Fridays.

This was a rather boring story that really didn't go anywhere.  Add to that, this was really the first story of the project that I did not care for the writing.
