One of my favorite short stories that I read recently is The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In this story, a baby is born as an old man and progressively turns into a baby, dying at the end. Of course, many of you will know this book was made into a movie with Brad Pitt as Benjamin Buttons. It is a very interesting concept and the book makes for good reading. An author I enjoyed reading as a kid is Astrid Lindgren who wrote the Pippi Longstocking series of books. I loved Pippi and her outrageous adventures along with her silly antics. J.K. Rowling is one of my favorite modern authors! I just love reading her Harry Potter series of books, considering I had never really been a fan of fantasy but after reading the first book in this series, I was hooked! Who didn't enjoy reading Charlotte's Web written by E.B. White! He also wrote Stuart Little.
