Currently reading "The Mammoth Book of Time Travel SF", a collection of short stories edited by Mike Ashley. Some of the stories are quite short, the first one, by Gregory Benford is only 4 pages long, and a 5 page story by Lawrence Watt Evans. Most of the remainder are 15-20 pages long. So far I haven't encountered a story that I want to skip over. This anthology reminds me of how pleasureable short fiction can be.
