Over the weekend,
Flavorwire posted this list with links to lots of great stories that are available to read online for free. The post was meant to commemorate the would-be 87th birthday of Flannery O'Connor, which was March 25, but we think the stories are worthy of attention — even if we're a few days late.
Read O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard To Find," plus a bunch of others that are less familiar, like "The School," by Donald Barthelme (love him!), and "The Sea Oak," by the hilarious George Saunders. Classic writers such as Kafka, Nabokov and Chekhov are included, plus nerdier fare by Ursula LeGuin and Ray Bradbury. Read up!
