I am re-reading all of Joan Aiken's short children's stories. Most of them are on the internet archive or in my personal collection.
I saved the very best one for last: The Serial Garden, which has all the Armitage stories. I read (in order) for voice, setting/world, story, then character.
All the stories are at least enjoyable, and some will go 'round and 'round in your head long after they are done.

The best fiction I've read so far this century is Robert Fulghum's Third Wish,
Right now I'm reading Rose and Milton Friedman's kind of autobio, Two Lucky People.
Oh, and also Wodehouse's Uneasy Money, that some young lady brought up recently. ;-)
& re-reading from many years ago Mary Renault's The King Must Die, prompted to do so by a substacker Librarian of Celaeno, essay.
