I love O'Connor. I have a book of almost all her short stories that I got for like .25 at a used book store.

O'Connor has been blowing my mind for the last couple of years (I've taught at least two of her stories each year as of late). I discover something new each time, and she never ceases to make me laugh my ass off, scare the shit out of me, and make me deeply ponder the nature of humanity.
The point in Revelation where Mary Grace launches herself across the waiting room to dig her hands into Mrs. Turpin's neck had me spitting out my coffee the morning I read it. So perfect.
