All short stories read in 2008 will be recorded and tracked on this post. Collections of short stories may also be found under 2008 Books Read. Single stories will only be found here. I use the following rating scale:
= Excellent; a must read; highly recommended
= Good/Very good; recommended
= Okay; pretty good
= Not recommended; boring; didn’t hold my interest; bad writing
= Awful; hated it; probably didn’t even finish the darn thing
