... A brief survey of the short story part 13: Franz Kafka - If we accept Vladimir Nabokov's judgment that "a good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader is a re-reader" and place it alongside Albert Camus's remark that "the whole of Kafka's art consists in compelling the reader to re-read him", we might conclude that Kafka's work is among the most valuable of literary treasures.

Clint ran the local garage and he lived for the Fourth. Without him, Wobegon would be just another nowhere town, population 2,124, in the Minnesota sticks. He'd got rid of traditions such as the Lutheran church cabbage tossing competition and brought in the Jubilation Marching Handbell Choir and the celebrat... Mills & Boon team up with Rugby Football Union to publish series of books - "Oh my God." Her hand covered her mouth. She glanced at him in desperate panic. "They filmed me kissing you. And it's up on the giant screens." Her voice rose, her cheeks were scarlet, and her reluctant glance towards the stadium ended in a moan of disbelief. "Oh God, I can't believe this and my hair is all over the place and my bottom looks huge, and - everyone is looking." His eyes on the pitch, Prince Casper watched with cool detachment ...
