Short stories

This afternoon I have read two short stories, because I thought that it will be better not only for my writing skills, but also for my main knowledge about the classic literature.
The first story was "A Haunted House" by Virginia Woolf. I can say I liked the story, but it did not impressed me very much.
But the second short story - "Eyes of a Blue Dog" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was totally fascinating. I liked everything in it. The story is a bit difficult to understand, but when you think more, then you get the message. 
From now I decided to read only short stories for this writing blog, I think it is a better idea than just read other blogs written by other people.
