This year, '11, is the 50th anniversary of Penguin Modern Classics (those books your school library had and some readers borrowed). Thanks to @Dhar, I came across this interesting tidbit below:
In the spirit of celebration, Penguin has launched this gorgeous box collection of 50 short novels/stories. The authors include Kafka, Saki, Ian Fleming, Kipling, Shirley Jackson, J. Joyce, H.P. Lovecraft, and other Greats.
At only 3 pounds each, these make a great gift collection and stand independently as cool introductions to these literary heavyweights.

I am not a fan of short stories/novellas but I would love to have these all!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I'm not big into short stories but I would love to read anything from these authors.
ReplyDeleteExactly - I haven't read half these authors before ( I know I should read them!!) but short stories are the perfect introduction to their opus works.
