I've just finished The Time Trap by Henry Kuttner, a pulpy SF novella in which the female characters don't seem to be able to keep their clothes on for more than a paragraph. This was a nominee for the 1939 retro hugo this year and I'm kind of glad it didn't win. More importantly, it was my 120th item read of the year, and I'm definitely not going to finish anything else today and ruin that.
If I'm very strict, I count 39 items that could be considered short, which would give me 81 total books, which is a total that would have amazed me a couple of years ago.
