I really enjoy these Oxfam collections of short stories, book extracts and poetry. Particularly enjoyed the Lionel Shriver piece.

Ox-tales : original stories from remarkable writers by Mark Ellingham
A mixed bag of short stories and excerpts from works in progress. Some I enjoyed, some I read but didn't pay too much attention to.

Ox-Tales Fire by Mark Ellingham
**** (4) stars to Vikram Seth and Mark Haddon. I liked the poem Fire by Vikram Seth so much I am learning it by heart and I loved the long short story by Mark Haddon - don't read about it - just read it with no preconceptions.
I had to look up the prawn jumbalaya in Vikram seth's poem and I shall have it for tea tomorrow. My only grumble is that once again Mark Haddon's biography makes no mention of his delightful 'Agent Z' books.
The others get a variety between ** (2) and *** (3).

OxCrimes: 27 Killer Stories from the Cream of… by Peter Florence
Proportion of good:bad very high, I thought. Predominantly British in setting, a few humorous, some very short, none over-long. Only one unreadable. Good value.
