Karma and Other Stories Book

I heard part of the first short story of this book, Justice Shiva Ram Murthy, being read on NPR while getting ready for bed one evening. It caught my attention, and I sat on the floor in my bathroom until the end of the reading. So, I was happy to find it on the new book shelf at the library.

I enjoy reading short stories. For one, they fit well into my life since I don't normally get to sit down and read for long periods of time. Short stories are often moments in time, snapshots of people's lives. There isn't as much of a need to tie everything together at the end. You can be left wondering what happened to the people in the story, but it's okay that you don't.

I enjoyed every story in this book. And the fact that they were loosely tied together by the characters added to the charm that I find in short stories.
