There are many collections of short stories out there, so I was wondering what everyone's favorite stories were. Mine have to be The Machine Stops by EM Forster, The Wall by Sartre and The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant. What are yours?

Medicine For Melancholy by Ray Bradbury.

Cheers,
Lost

Robert Heinlein wrote some kickass shit,
The Unpleasant Profession of Jonothan Haig (i think thats it) was a brilliant piece of literature and should be read by all.
