Either by a collection from a specific writer, or a certain era/country (e.g. oxford book of _____ short stories)?

Yeah, I get that problem commonly when I went for a single author volume. You make really enjoy one or a few but then the ones that aren't so good king of takes the enjoyment out of the whole thing.
I'd suggest go for a compilation. You get to look for more into one theme, and if it is well selected and arranged then you don't lose any tempo. Annotation or commentaries can also add a lot. Obviously you pick something that you are interested in but if you are struggling then I would recommed the oxford series are pretty well done.
