Great list. It would be cool if you guys did the same with writers from around the world. My vote would go for Haruki Murakami or Joel Strivewell, can’t make up my mind. How about you people?

Hemingway?… Probably THE best American short story writer, debatably, I know. He still deserves a spot in the top five at least.

King really? You would put that hack on a list of actually real writers? How about Lovecraft, or hey the guy who writes the fortunes on the paper in the cookies. Any one with the exception of the writer of twilight.

I like all of them books, but my favorite writer is with no doubt Stephen King. Yes, Stephen King. Some of you dont like his books, but I LOVE THEM. And the short story theme… Have you read “Let the childrens suffer”? (I think it was called that way, i don’t remember), well, maybe the IN-MIDDLE things aren’t so good, but is amazingly surrealistic and makes you get scared, and the ending to that “Short Story” is really good.

I definitely agree with Sherwood Anderson. I always enjoyed his novel “Winesberg, Ohio”
