I have here a complete collection of Flannery O'Connor and not enough time to read it all. Tell me, /lit/, which stories should I go for?

The Articificial Nigger is a good story.

A Good Man is Hard to Find.

And one of my faves:

Good Country People

Enjoy!!!!!

"A Good Man Is Hard to Find"
"Good Country People"
"Revelation"
"Everything That Rises Must Converge"

Also, her novella, "Wise Blood" is great.
