We all long to find a time when we can escape the daily grind and find a hideaway where we won’t be disturbed. We may have projects to complete or rest to enjoy, but the choice of that location is critical.

Today fewer people wear watches than ever. The reason may be that cell phones have a digital clock so there seems little need to wear a timepiece on your arm or in your pocket.

If you’ve ever had something repaired multiple times you will identify with the humorous struggle Twain relates in the short story "My Watch".

If you have ever wondered why doctors can sometimes seem detached and non-emotional, perhaps this short story from Russian author Ivan Tergenev can help explain.
