I'll admit, I'm not into short stories and I'd probably feel overwhelmed by the sci-fi you've mentioned, but I'd love to read some of the ones you enjoyed!

It sounds like I'll probably line up with your views, enjoying the magical realism stories and not so much the ones that are "slogs." :) Elley Otterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441675454627995780noreply@blogger.com
