So get your hands on one of these long weekend reads, many of which are hot off the presses!
The Pier Falls: And Other Stories by Mark Haddon
The great thing about delving into a short story collection over a long weekend is that you’ll be able to get through complete stories even if you don’t get through the book completely. The great thing about this short story collection is that it’s Mark Haddon’s short story debut. He’s the author of the 2003 international bestseller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (which, if you haven’t read, you should also add to your reading list!), so we have high hopes for this book full of bite-sized stories.
