I skipped Haruki Murakami's story, not interested in how he writes characters. On learning Norwegian by Lydia Davis is a gem, perfection for book nerds. They were pretty good: Mellow by Etgar Keret, The fork by Dave Eggers (funny), On a morning by Fatin Abbas and Black and blue by Garnette Cadogan.

My favorites were all non-fiction. Alexander Hemon's essay about moving to Canada was moving and funny, especially when his father gets into a feud with the raccoons. Etgar Keret being super high at his first reading actually had me in stitches and Lydia Davis' essay on learning Norwegian and Dag Solstad was super interesting and I want to tell everyone about it.
