A few years back I spent all my free time and my free month on Scribd reading through Sense of Wonder: A Century of Science Fiction a book that advertises itself as being "More than one million words of classic fiction and essays!"
I quite enjoyed the book although it's a bit expensive.
On the other hand reading 2020 Vision 50th Anniversary Edition: 1970's SCI FI PREDICTIONS FOR 2020 (Jerry Pournelle) was amusing. There was a distinct lack of viral induced global shutdowns of society.
Oh, and this last Christmas I finally finished The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) which has some very good stories.
