Sorry Please Thank You

I found this on the rack at the library just before we closed on Friday. Something told me to grab it, and I am so glad I did. Despite my usual distaste for short stories, I found myself sucked into Yu's wild imagination. The stories are best read with a bit of time in between, for processing.
If you can't read the entire book, here are my absolute faves:
1. Standard Loneliness Process
2. First Person Shooter
3. Hero Absorb's Major Damage
4. Yeoman (it is so funny, as I read Redshirts at the same time)

This is not to say the rest of the stories are unworthy, just that those four were my personal favorites.

I was pretty disappointed in this collection, because I really liked his novel. Several of the stories are basically gimmicks, and not well executed. The author seems to be reasonably imaginative when it comes to what-if scenarios, but quite unimaginative when it comes to characters.
