2008 Short Story Challenge

rc400.jpgKate S., over at Kate’s Book Blog, has proposed a challenge to read more short stories next year.  As I was already planning out a list of short story authors I wanted to read next year, I’m definitely joining this one!  She has several different options with her challenge and I think I’m going to do option 3.  I will try to read 5 different author collections.  AND I’m going to try to do it from books I already own.  So, without further ado…my list!

  1. The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty
  2. Burning Your Boats: The Collected Short Stories by Angela Carter
  3. The Collected Works of Flannery O’Connor
  4. Waifs and Strays by Charles de Lint
  5. The Collected Stories of Ernest Hemingway

Of course, I reserve the right to substitute at will :)   And who knows, I may add more!

    Looking forward to your reviews! I'm doing this challenge, too, and already have my goals up here: http://1morechapter.com

    By the way, the black typewriter looks great on your black background!

  2. Fun! I think I'll do this one, too. Especially since I've begun to amass short story collections like crazy.
