    I was introduced to Flannery O’Connor with “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, and I’ve been in love with her writing ever since. “Good Country People” is my favorite of hers!

    I love it! Thought you were going to say Moby Dick. I shouted a laugh and clapped. I’m presently working on a novel that is the marriage of Flannery O’Connor to Charles Bukowski. Two contemporaries from different worlds that shocked their readers.
    Look for the biopic, Wildcat. Watch Ethan and Maya Hawke's conversation with Bishop Robert Baron on his Word On Fire show.
    PS, start with Parker’s Back.

    I've only read "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" from the collection. This makes me want to read all of her stories!

    The ending to The Dead by James Joyce reminded me of ending in Revelation. Just read Revelation OMG.

    Now that is an unexpected nr. 1! Last year I did read her novel Wise Blood, which I thought was radical, unsettling and brilliant. Now I'm interested in reading her short stories as well. And her Prayer Journal. For the rest, your top 10 and mine have only two books in common: David Copperfield and The Brothers Karamazov, the latter being my personal nr. 1.

    Rats, I was excited about your channel, but I consider Flannery O'Connor to be the worst, most over-rated writer of all time. "Wise Blood" was sophomoric treacle. I can't convey the depth of my loathing for that book. But, hey, The Brothers of Karamazov was good, and to each his own. .
