Below are the 100 short stories that I’ve chosen to read for this challenge. The first 51 in the selection are comprised of the entire short-story anthology - Great Short Stories of the English Speaking World (Vol.1), with the remaining choices coming from various other sources. I have purposely left a number of slots open, because experience has taught me that I usually discover additional choices as a challenge progresses, and I want to be able to accommodate these.
Once each title is read, it becomes linked in the table to a mini-review page where I give a brief summary of each story, together with some short afterthoughts. As always, comments, questions and recommendations are warmly welcome
