Stories should interest you, touch you, move you. There are 134 in 'Next'. Many, possibly even most, will do just that. 'Youth', 'love', 'life', 'death', and so much more. Stories often relevant to you, your life, past and future. Stories very readable, memorable.   'Next' is generous, a friend you will want to spend time with. A book to keep beside your favourite chair, beside your bed. A friend to meet up with often over the years. Rather special, rather out of the ordinary.
