First to recommend

An Anthology of Love Stories, and not "Jane Austen" love stories, but love in the very realistic sense that love is mostly wonderous but can also be heart-wrenchingly painful, confusing and totally disorienting. It's mesmorizing and also great because you can read a whole story in a short sitting and leave it to the next time you're in the mood for the next. Also, Eugenidies is donating ALL the proceeds to his pet project, 826 Chicago, a group that helps develop creative writing skills for kids ages 8-18. Read it, love it, and pass it on! (via Very Short List)
