Good writing

Engaging in the art of good writing is akin to crafting a masterpiece with words, where every sentence weaves seamlessly into the next. It's a symphony of expression that captivates minds and hearts. The elegance of proper titling, as highlighted in the article, adds a touch of formality, reminiscent of a bygone era in journalism. In an age where informality prevails, embracing the tradition of addressing individuals with titles like Ms., Mr., or Dr. exudes a timeless charm. Such attention to detail, as exemplified by the writer, demonstrates a commitment to both clarity and respect. For those who cherish the beauty of language, exploring the nuances of good writing becomes a delightful journey.

This one hit me pretty hard. My kids aren't really kids anymore, and I, well shit, I'm my parents.
 
So I thought about this a bit more during the 8 hrs of my life recently spent on a plane.

Here are my top short stories:
1. Short Happy Life of Francis McComber - Hemingway https://faculty.washington.edu/jdb/303/Hemingway/The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber.pdf
2. A River Runs Through It - Maclean https://sembawangtutor.files.wordpr...rough-it-and-other-stories-maclean-norman.pdf
2b. if RRTI is too long, then I'd swap in Logging and Pimping and "Your Pal, Jim".
3. Legends of the Fall - Harrison
4. Cowboy - McGuane https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/09/19/cowboy-2
5. Big Two Hearted River - Hemingway https://xroads.virginia.edu/~DRBR/hem_river.html

What else you guys got? I feel like there's at least one great one in Peterson's collection A Hunter's Heart, but I'm drawing a blank.
Killer selection, “Honey Badger” comes to mind.

Ill add.. The Old Man and the Boy... mostly because it really hits close to home with me as a younger man.
The Green Hills of Africa and anything by Burton L. Spiller.
 
Written by a friend, wish the intro wasn't a part of it...
