pickThis collection included a few stories I‘ve read elsewhere, but that‘s ok. Every short story Carver ever wrote is worth reading at least twice. His minimalistic style and working class subjects (of a previous generation) combined with first person narratives, pull you into one compelling, realistic story after another. Absolutely brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Congratulations on your milestone @MicheleinPhilly
I love shelfies and your contest , so here‘s my post. I am redoing all the shelves as I liberated a big stash from storage .This is a 3 shelf in transition, I think it will be journalism and plays eventually, now just a jumble.
December 6: Nothing Christmassy about Raymond Carver, except that this signed book was a very kind gift about ten years ago. Plus, bells! 🔔 #booksandbells #decktheshelves @Tiffy_Reads & @JoeStalksBeck

This is running for your life,
in search of the miraculous.
#junebookbugs #publishedinthe1980s There is something about a Raymond Carver short story. He writes about the marginalized,the broken-hearted, the addicted .He knows where to put the knife and get it close to the bone.Just stunning stuff . This was his last collection published in 1988 he passed away the same year at age 50.

The #peachbooks are few and far between on my shelves but they are good ones - like this title (it is peach not beige, I swear!)
I still remember the summer course I took where Carver's stories made my path clear - I could only be an English major once I read him!

Digging around on my book shelves for my next read, I found this Carver collection of short stories. From the back cover - "These stories overflow with the danger, excitement, mystery and possibility of life." Yes, please.
