My favorite story so far has been “ A Story Told to Me by a Friend,” by Lydia Davis. It was one of my favorites because I’m not much of a reader and I like short stories that are meaningful in a way. The reason it was meaningful and one of my favorites is because the men started as strangers and it reminds me of how that’s the way everyone starts from being complete strangers to sending emails or text messages until we decide to meet in person. It’s exciting to see how two strangers go from exactly that to falling in love because they have the same interests. It’s interesting to read about it and more exciting to read on how one of the men chose to make a flight to see each other one on one. But once reading the middle some many things come to mind and it becomes shocking to keep reading and seeing that their love was there but wouldn’t be able to meet because his friend had died. It’s sad to see that their internet love wasn’t able to meet. I liked this story because it’s like a real life story that people can actually go through, but even though all that they still were friends no matter what and that is how everyone actually starts. It was a happy and sad story at the time but very romantic. It’s a short story I Would read again.
