OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS, I loved this book. I couldn't put my finger on where I had heard of Lorrie Moore until I got to the story "People Like That Are the Only People Here," which was collected in [b:Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules|4140|Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules|David Sedaris|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165389020s/4140.jpg|726] and which was my favorite story in Children Playing. It wasn't even my favorite story from this collection, but it's still an amazing story. The sentences this woman can write, my God. Seriously, just wonderfully-written stories here, ones where you'll savor every word and think about their implications days later.
