My favorite story by Italo Calvino this week was: “The Ship with Three Decks”

From the review: “A successful folktale can transport you back to your childhood, when times were magical, and stories – especially those folk and fairy tales – filled you with wonder.

My favorite story of the week was: “The Death of Jack Hamilton” by Stephen King

From the review: “That someone has the patience, skill, and dexterity to accomplish such of a feat is unbelievable, but the thought of those white threads attached to the flies floating in the air is just as funny and beautiful to me as it was to the dying Jack Hamilton.
