Portable Magic
Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

Selected Shorts: A Touch of Magic ★★★☆☆
Overall, an interesting set of short stories, all with some speculative fiction aspect to them. Aside from the two well-loved classics (Bradbury’s The Veldt and Jacobs’ The Monkey’s Paw), they were new to me and mostly pretty good, but not my kind of thing. They were the kind of short stories that are filled with imagery and emotion but also whose point, if there was one, sort of sailed over my head. The performances, on the other hand, were all top notch, as they are recorded from the public media and Symphony Space live show.
