I finished reading (well not strictly!!):

"The Long Valley" written by John Steinbeck.

This a collection of short stories written by Steinbeck. Although generally I am not a fan of short stories I really liked this collection. The reason I said I had "not strictly" finished this book is that I have already read the two stories last year in a separate book, "The Red Pony" so I did not read them again. The stories I read were - "The Chrysanthemums", "The White Quail". "Flight", "The Snake", "Breakfast", "The Raid", "The Harness", "The Vigilante", "Johnny Bear", "The Murder" and "Saint Katy the Virgin".

The part of the book I read was 198 pages.
