I like reading short stories.
But then I always feel like I have to clarify. I like reading short stories, in a book, all by the same author. I do read anthologies and literary magazines. I’d be a hypocrite otherwise since they publish my little stories now and then. But I don’t enjoy those as much as a book of short stories all by the same person.
Except for focus. No matter how many books of short stories I read, it always feels like snacking. I’m never full at the end. I can’t remember ever getting book-hangover from finishing a book of short stories.
But snacks are good too. I do enjoy chocolate covered almonds for instance. I wouldn’t eat a bowl for dinner, but they are tasty.
