I recently read Katherine Mansfield's short story "Miss Brill." It took me a day of pondering the story to understand the theme, but it was worth it. The theme is alienation, and the story elicits quite a bit of sympathy for lonely people. Read it here.
Also, there are a couple of good analysis articles here and here.

As Memorial Day came and passed, there were some good things and some not so good things that happened.
Well, beginning the weekend off, I graduated from John S. Battle High School on Saturday, officially becoming free from school-well, high school. I start at Virginia Highlands Community College sometime in August, so wish me luck. Yesterday, the actual observance of Memorial Day, there was a funeral for Robbie Light of Tennessee, killed from an Improvised Explosive Device, or IED. Security was tight for fear of funeral protests. James Webb did not come to Bristol like there was a rumor about. I went to Dollywood to celebrate Memorial Day and graduation. Those lines were sooo long! I never want to stand in lines like that again! Anyway, I got my tax refund check back today. The money for that goes to pay for a car.
Has anyone seen the Bob Corker for Senate commercials? Especially the one about immigration? "Secure our borders, no amnesty,..." Okay, Dubya, whatever you say....
