IMHO, short story collections are a bit of a different animal than single story tomes.

I currently have 4 partially read collections in my queue. I will bounce between them as the mood strikes, though I read an individual story (or "section" in the case of the complete Celebrated Crimes by Dumas that I'm reading) to completion.

I often put the book aside after reading one story and read something else next, going back the the first book at some later time. I have 2 SF collections, a history collection (the Dumas), and a mystery collection in partially read states. Often one of the "in progress" books is some old pulp magazine. I like frequent changes of scenery (read: genre) so I bounce around.

I have only one suspended book in my stack at present which I may or may not resume.
