Second Star, by Philippe Delerm

Whether you call this flash fiction or bite-size essays--it's a delight. By simply noticing the world around him--from a grandfather watching a grandson read for the first time to the delicate act of peeling and consuming a clementine--Delerm conjures a series of fictional musings, presented with the grace and gravity of Taoist sayings.  As the French writer remarks, "Let’s remember the present," and there's no better way than by reading and rereading this humble jewel of a book.
