McSweeney's!

I think I'll start off my regular blogging by berating you with things I like. The first of these is McSweeney's. This is a quarterly magazine (a book really) full of short stories and things. It's edited by Dave Eggars, who wrote A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius and the mighty Short Short Stories out of the Guardian (it's now one of those cheap little penguin books -- buy it now). It's dead good, but what's better is the McSweeney's website, where they post a very short and often funny story every day. Here are some of my favourites. Please visit them!
