100 ‘Shots of Short’ Reading Challenge

Welcome to the ‘hub page’ for the 100 Shots of Short Reading Challenge. The challenge is a simple one – no time limit, no specific titles, just the goal of reading 100 self-picked short stories as and when possible.

Below are the 100 short stories which I’ve chosen to read for this challenge. The first 49 in the selection are comprised of almost 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 story is read it becomes linked in the table to a mini-review page where I give a brief summary of each story, together with brief afterthoughts. As always, comments, questions and recommendations are warmly welcome.
