Oh yes, please. I've been reading quite a bit; it makes a great distraction.
I've just started a writing class, which will go for eight weeks, and also have beta reading and assignments for that. But otherwise I'm currently unemployed so I have lots of time on my hands.
I'm always happy to look over any of your stories.
In some ways a writing class isn't much different from having a few beta readers, except one of the readers is a professional writer and likely to give better feedback. There are other things, like learning the three act structure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-act_structure) or getting Gardner's view on psychic distance (http://www.susanwoodring.com/2010/06/john-gardners-psychic-distance.html). Instead, or at least for now, you could ask other writers to recommend boosk; I'm sure the fine people over at riters r us (http://riters-r-us.livejournal.com/profile) would be happy to help.
