I thought this was an exceptional read. For me one of the best books I have ever read. The setings and stories made me feel a part of them.

I read this for a class, but included it in my "books read" section because I loved it so. It expands the mind. It is simply beautiful, and the short stories are contemplated for some time after the read is complete.
