Has anyone read this collection of short stories?

Enjoyed it much!
In the blue bottle I found, there was a chocolate bar. I consumed it. Then another appeared. I consumed it. Another bar appeared and I consumed it. And another....

Yes! "Forever and the Earth" so impressed me I visited Thomas Wolfe's home and grave years later.

For me, the highlights were the two dark tales, "The October Game" and "The Burning Man", and the superb mainstream pieces, "The Better Part of Wisdom" and "Interval in Sunlight".

What about "A Piece of wood", this was the one which made me buy the book and read it all in one stand.

I forgot to mention "The Pumpernickel", a story that meant so much to me that I typed out the whole text to send to a friend.

Indeed, wish we could start the rust tonight. Peace.

"Have I Got a Chocolate Bar for You!"

"G.B.S. - Mark V"

Now see what those stories have done.
They've gone and made me cry.

Several times over the years.

I don't think the rust would help, man has always needed war... it's in human nature

Perhaps the next best thing to "the rust":
