Good Reads

I know what I've said about commenting on short stories. But I've read a couple of things worth talking about at certain places. All of these stories are worthy of comment, but alas--so many stories, so little time.

• Raymond Carver, "Popular Mechanics"
  (comments at Raketenwerfer)
  
• Tara F. T. Sering, "Preview"
  (comments at ricebowljournals.org)
  
• T.J. McIntyre, "The Tree Hugger"
  
• Kelly Spitzer, "Ladies' Man"
  
• Alan DeNiro, "Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead"
