I definitely prefer short stories. I have trouble getting through a novel unless I absolutely love it. There are plenty of times I read a book and I'm not really into it after 150 pages, but I've already committed so much that there's no turning back. So it turns into more of a chore than enjoyment. Short stories are great because even if they aren't that good, they're over before you know it. I usually try to buy anthologies when I can find them, and I love fiction magazines. I wish the Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine had a Kindle edition!
