This is a great collection of short stories, with a nice mix of well known tales with a few which are lesser known.

Ideal to put in your pocket and take with you when you know you're going to have thirty minutes to an hour to kill. (

Among other great stories, this book contains a wonderful short story called "Murke's Collected Silences," by Heinrich Böll, which I've often thought about, even though many years have since passed. (
