Truly a great collection. My other favorite short story collection is "Strange Pilgrims" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
If you like poetry I would suggest: "Riding The Earthboy 40" by James Welch and "Shapeshift" by Sherwin Bitsui. Both are by American Indian authors. Jim Welch was somewhat of a mentor to me, a great writer. Sherwin Bitsui is a good friend of mine. Brilliant guy.
For some different nonfiction try: " The Edges of The Civilized World: a journey in nature and culture" by Alison Hawthorne Deming. It's gorgeously written. She was my Creative Nonfiction professor, it was my favorite class ever. She's a great writer and I am saying that with no bias.
