So I made the decision to read through this list of 98 well received short SF stories from last year, as originally posted to MetaFilter, reading roughly three stories a day. The first week of posts is now up:
- Introduction and list of stories
- Day One: stories by Charlie Jane Anders, Eleanor Arnason and Dale Bailey
- Day Two: Jessica Barber and two by Elizabeth Bear.
- Day Three and Four: Helena Bell, Holly Black, Aliette de Bodard, Richard Butner, Richard Bowes & Chaz Brenchley.
- Day Five: Siobhan Carroll, Dario Ciriello and C. S. E. Cooney.
- Day Six: Julio Cortázar, Tom Crosshill and Amanda C. Davis
- Day Seven: Amal El-Mohtar, Ruthanna Emrys and K. M. Ferebee.
It’s been interesting reading these stories this way, usually done on my tablet lying on the couch with a cat on my lap. Even if a given story isn’t too my liking, it’s easy enough to push through to a better one. I don’t read enough short stories normally and this is a good challenge to get me to read more.
