I love a good short story collection. I really slow down and savor short stories, and I find that short fiction often provides a pants-down peek into the psychology of the writer. (Don't judge--you like it, too). Short story collections are sometimes expensive to buy, but libraries often carry a good selection. I thought this challenge would overlap nicely with the Library Challenge. Get on board, people. Mix it up this year with some short stories. They're worth the effort.

I also love short stories. I discovered them as a lonely high school student. Nine Stories, by J.D. Salinger changed my life. I wrote to him when I was 17, and he answered me! Many years later, i sold that letter for $5000 to pay for my daughter's sophomore year of high school education...I kept a copy though.
I love short stories, as well. I write them as well as read them. When I only have a short time to read, or before I fall asleep at night, I can usually read the whole story at one sitting. It's nice for a change of pace. Telling a story in a few pages can sometimes be a challenge, but one I enjoy.
