Thanks for the tip. I do like short fiction and especially as introduction to an author: it allows you to sample his style, without having to invest time in a randomly chosen novel, which might be his worst work.

I usually try to avoid any movie based on a book, until I have read it. And that's usually because the movie sucked rotten green eggs, and the book was a lot better.
