I'm trying to read more shorts this year (I have a goal of one a week). To that end, I thought it would be fun to see what everyone's favorite short stories are. Bonus Karma if you can post a link to the story itself (be it text or recording).
I'll start with some of my old favorites:
The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield
A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell
Where is the Voice Coming From by Eudora Welty
Although the start of my list are more "literary" classics (and PLEASE do not descend the thread into a fight over that!), I'm interested in all periods and genres!
