Anyways, especially for short stories, I definitely won't be taking time to write detailed reviews of individual stories. For reviews of many of these stories, I can recommend Tangent Online.
However, for purposes of backing up my record keeping, I shall post a general ranking of my current reading here. I may also post short comments if particular stories seem to merit them.
As usual, I'm starting with Short Stories (defined as stories of less than 7500 words), and with the size of this year's reading list, it'll be a while before I move up to Novelettes.
So, the stories read so far:
