Ray Newman, a writer in Bristol, started 2023 by planning to read 365 short stories.
He did it, and you can see which stories he liked most at A Personal Anthology, a site that asks invited guest to talk about 12 of their favorite stories.
Newman said some interesting things about his journey. I liked these two points, especially:
• A story a day sounds like a lot. But if you assume that the average short story collection has 10 pieces, that’s 37 books, which somehow sounds better.
• “The time was easy to find: I just spent less time refreshing Twitter, and more time with a paperback in my hand.”
I’m thinking about what I want to read in 2024. More stories would be good.
