Part 5: This is a collection of short stories, 50 penguin's modern classics.
41. THE PROBLEM THAT HAS NO NAME by BETTY FRIEDAN. The pioneering Betty Friedan gave voice to countless American housewives - who, despite being sold a dream of the perfect home and family, silently wondered 'Is this all?' - and set the women's movement in motion.
42. THE DIALOGUE OF TWO SNAILS by FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA. A dazzling selection of the beautiful, brutal and darkly brilliant work of Spain's greatest twentieth-century poet, from his beloved Gypsy Ballads to pieces appearing in English for the first time.
43. OF DOGS AND WALLS by YUKO TSUSHIMA. Two luminous, tender stories from one of Japan's greatest twentieth-century writers, showing how childhood memories, dreams and fleeting encounters shape our lives.
44. MADAME DU DEFFAND AND THE IDIOTS by JAVIER MARÍAS. Five sparkling, irreverent brief portraits of famous literary figures (including libertines, eccentrics and rogues) from Spain's greatest living writer.
45. THE HAUNTED BOY by CARSON MCCULLERS. These moving stories by one of the great masters of Southern gothic portray love, sorrow and our search for happiness and understanding.
46. THE GARDEN OF FORKING PATHS by JORGE LUIS BORGES. Fantastical tales of mazes, puzzles, lost labyrinths and bookish mysteries, from the unique imagination of a literary magician.
47. FAME by ANDY WARHOL. The legendary pop artist Andy Warhol's hilarious, gossipy vignettes and aphorisms on the topics of love, fame and beauty.
48. THE SURVIVOR by PRIMO LEVI. From the writer who bore witness to the twentieth century's darkest days, these verses of beauty and horror include the poem that inspired the title of his memoir, If This Is a Man.
49. LANCE by VLADIMIR NABOKOV. These three dazzling stories of obsession, mania and an extra-terrestrial nightmare feature all the wit, dexterity and inventiveness that are the hallmarks of Nabokov's genius.
50. WHY I AM NOT GOING TO BUY A COMPUTER by WENDELL BERRY. The great American poet, novelist and farmer argues for a life lived slowly, and the value of home.

Minnesota Twins-Houston Astros Series Preview
5.31.24-Pablo Lopez RHP (4-5) 5.25 ERA Vs. Ronel Blanco RHP (5-0) 1.99 ERA
6.1.24-Joe Ryan RHP (4-3) 2.96 ERA Vs. Framber Valdez LHP (3-3) 4.34 ERA
6.2.24-Simeon Woods Richardson RHP (2-0) 2.70 ERA Vs. Hunter Brown RHP (1-5) 6.39 ERA
The Twins At A Glance- The Twins took three of four from the Royals to close out a (5-2) homestand. The team now heads out on a nine-game, three-city road trip that starts in Houston tonight. Royce Lewis continues to work his way back on a rehab assignment with the Saints. The Saints are in Rochester and he might be activated before the Yankees series next week. Brooks Lee has been on a rehab assignment with Fort Myers. Brock Stewart has been throwing plyo balls as he nears a rehab assignment. Alex Kirilloff is hitting .357 with two homers and five RBI over the past week. Ryan Jeffers might have broken out of a slump with a pair of homers on Thursday. Josh Staumont has thrown 7 1/3 shutout innings since getting called up. Diego Castillo is another intriguing option to the bullpen. Joe Ryan owned a 2.51 ERA in the month of May.
The Astros At A Glance- The Astros had a rough (10-19) stretch in April, but have been playing better in May. They are (15-13) in May and the Mariners took three of four from them in Seattle. The Astros return home for a six-game homestand this week. Houston lost some key pieces from last year as Michael Brantley retired, Martin Maldonado signed with the White Sox and Hector Neris signed with the Cubs. Jeremy Pena leads the team with a .302 average. Kyle Tucker has been carrying the offense with eighteen homers and thirty-nine RBI. Jose Abreu is back after getting sent to the Florida Complex league in late-April. Alex Bregman has had a slow start as well. The pitching staff has had a rash of injuries. Lance McCullers, Cristian Javier and Jose Urquidy have forearm injuries and Luis Garcia is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. They signed Josh Hader to close out games and he's been okay with a 3.81 ERA. Ryan Pressly has struggled as a set-up man with a 5.06 ERA.
What To Watch For- The Twins went (4-2) against the Astros in the regular season then lost three of four games in the ALDS to the Astros. Pablo Lopez has a 4.15 ERA in one start against the Astros. He also threw seven shutout innings against them in Game 2 of the ALDS last year. Ronel Blanco gave up four runs over one career inning against the Twins. Joe Ryan is (1-2) with a 8.36 ERA in three starts against Houston. Framber Valdez is (3-1) with a 2.37 ERA in seven games against the Twins. Simeon Woods Richardson has never faced the Astros. Hunter Brown is (1-1) with a 3.86 ERA in two starts versus the Twins. The Twins get to face a beat up Astros team with revenge on their mind from getting knocked out of the playoffs last year.

Astros, with retooled rotation, host Twins again
When the Houston Astros lost right-handed starters Jose Urquidy and Luis Garcia to injury in consecutive starts to open this month, their rotation — already compromised by the absence of right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. — appeared to be in dire straits ‘Soccer fandom is full of gatekeepers’ says Ted Lasso actor Brendan Hunt But instead of their rotation collapsing due to attrition, the Astros…

Houston Astros-Minnesota Twins Series Preview
4.7.23-Jose Urquidy RHP (0-0) 6.75 ERA Vs. Sonny Gray RHP (1-0) 0.00 ERA
4.8.23-Luis Garcia RHP (0-1) 5.40 ERA Vs. Joe Ryan RHP (1-0) 1.50 ERA
4.9.23-Hunter Brown RHP (0-0) 7.71 ERA Vs. Tyler Mahle RHP (1-0) 1.80 ERA
The Astros At A Glance- The Houston Astros opened the first week of the season at home. They split a four-game series with the White Sox and lost two out of three to the Tigers. The Astros head up to Minnesota to start a six-game road trip. Jose Altuve broke his thumb while playing for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. He might return by early-June, but David Hensley and Mauricio Dubon have been filling in at second base. The Astros didn’t re-sign Yuli Gurriel, but picked up Jose Abreu, who is a bit of an upgrade. Michael Brantley is working his way back from shoulder surgery and has been rehabbing in Florida. Yordan Alvarez is off to a hot start with a .348 average, two homres, and 10 RBI. Jose Abreu is 10-for-29 (.345) with his new team. Lance McCullers and Blake Taylor are out with elbow injuries of their own. The Twins will miss Framber Valdez and Cristian Javier in this series. The Astros are very high on Hunter Brown, who pitches on Sunday. The Houston bullpen holds a 4.13 ERA, which is in the middle of the pack of baseball. The starting staff is very good, so the Twins need to get in the bullpen, which has struggled out of the gate.
The Twins At A Glance- The Twins won the first four games of the series then faced some good pitching in Miami. Sandy Alcantara shut them down and so did Jesus Lazardo. The Twins return home with a (4-2) record and a couple of good opponents awaiting them. Trevor Larnach has been hot and is hitting 9-for-23 with a homer and six RBI. Ryan Jeffers is 4-for-9 (.444) with a homer in three games. Joey Gallo has supplied three of the team’s six homers. Jorge Polanco will begin a rehab assignment at Fort Myers on Thursday. The Twins have the best starting pitching in the season’s first week. The starters own a 1.08 ERA through six games. The pitching staff will face better lineups in the Astros and White Sox this week though. The bullpen has a 3.38 ERA, which is eleventh-best in baseball. Everyone should be available for the series opener given the Thursday off day. Jhoan Duran has not thrown since Opening Day, Jorge Lopez hasn’t thrown since Sunday, and Griffin Jax only threw nine pitches on Wednesday.
What To Watch For- The Astros won all six games against the Twins last year. For the second straight year, the Twins home opener was postponed from Thursday to Friday. There hadn’t been a home opener postponed in Target Field history until the last two seasons. Jose Urquidy has a 3.60 ERA in ten innings against the Twins. Sonny Gray is (4-4) with a 3.08 ERA in ten starts versus the Astros. Luis Garcia is (3-1) with a 2.66 ERA in four games against Minnesota. Joe Ryan gave up four runs over four innings of work in his lone start facing Houston. Tyler Mahle gave up two runs over seven innings in his only start against the Astros. Sonny Gray was walking out to “Here Comes The Sun” in spring training, so he probably will on Friday. Joe Ryan was still walking out to “Fire On The Mountain” in spring training, which was his walk-out song last year. It will be awesome to see the changes at the ballpark with the new scoreboard, Minnie & Paul sign, and the disco ball on top of the clock tower in right field. Here’s to baseball being back at Target Field.

Astros Week: Brantley, McCullers and a Bad Call from Baker
Astros Week: Brantley, McCullers and a Bad Call from Baker
The Astros swept the A’s, but have dropped the first two of a four-game set in Chicago. It’s a crazy portion of the league’s condensed schedule with lots of necessary days off for rotation guys. Fortunately, the Astros continue to go with a six-man rotation now that Lance McCullers, Jr. is back, but fatigue has got to be taking its toll. The good news is the team maintains an 11-game lead in the…
