Might as well read short stories in February. Obviously, not only short stories; I’d never stick to that. But I’ll read a short story a day and write 140 character reviews of them here (likely gathering a few together and posting every few days). Because I like arbitrary rules and boundaries:
- only stories I haven’t read before;
- each story by unique author.
So I’ll scan my shelves, grab short story collections and anthologies, and go from there. We’ll see what I find. I have two big textbook Short Stories of The English Language so if I run out of books, I’ll just jump into dead white male land and read a bunch from there.
And send me short stories you think I should read too! As long as I don’t have to, you know, expend effort myself to find a copy of them 🙂

Oooh — this seems like a neat idea! I quite like short stories myself, but don’t know that many. Ursula K. LeGuin and Alistair MacLeod are the only authors that jump to mind.

I’m just going along my shelf, picking out collections I haven’t read yet and reading a story in each, then moving on. So it’s going to be a pretty big mishmash.
