Short Stories

My qt patrician gf and I read one at a time aloud to each other over a hot bath and discuss. We read other authors outside of this arrangement.

I normally do one a day. I tend to always have a short story collection on the go and a longer book and I'll tend to read one short story and some of my long book every night.

never ever all at once, can take years

only read anthologies straight through

I'll read one or two between novels

It depends on how the editor's arranged it really. Something like Fitzgerald & Kafka's collected works seems designed to dip into quickly, whereas the Akutagawa collection I've got is structured to give an insight into him and his life.

I normally have a few short story collections lying around though. Anyone got obscure recommendations?

I usually read them straight through. Sometimes if the story is really intense or meaningful, I put down the book and come back to it the next day.
I did this after I read Mieville's "Sacken" because I was disturbed and alone.

desu I don't really have a reading order for anything

I can abandon a novel and come back to it 2 months later
