Short Stories

I have always believed I was not a fan of short stories. I always thought I craved more detail and longer story lines. After taking this class I have realized short stories can be more enjoyable than I originally thought. I think a lot of why I liked them more now than before is when I have only a limited amount of time I can get a whole story read and sometimes more than one. When we were assigned to read longer stories I had to spend more time (obviously) and sometimes the gaps in reading one chapter to the next had me forgetting information. I may even have to go buy a book of short stories for fun. :)
