I've been trying to read more short stories lately, after one of Joyce Carol Oates' collections impressed me. So please suggest me your favorites! by LogikalResolution Related: Literary fiction with a female neurodiverse character Is End of History by Fukuyama worth to read? Books on 18th century French nobility and court life Need a children’s picture book that will stand the test of time & be a favorite for a few years to come as she grows, with beautiful illustrations centered around a Black girl as the protagonist! Not really a book suggestion! Which one is better?
hbe_bme on August 19, 2024 11:28 pm All You Zombies by Rober Heinlein. The name is a misnomer because the story has nothing to do with zombies. It’s a science fiction. Specificing which subgenre of science fiction would be a spoiler
Katharine_Heartburn on August 19, 2024 11:30 pm My favorite short story of all time is Moonface by Jack London, which is [available for free](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1089/1089-h/1089-h.htm) from Project Gutenberg.

Based on events that happened in 1991. I think it’s largely a true story, including the names of many of the characters. Contains violence.
Imaninja2 on August 19, 2024 11:42 pm I mostly listen to my ‘books’ these days. Here are some that get 4.5 to 5 stars from me along with where they can be found to listen. Sundae by Matt Wallace – Podcastle #254 (My absolute favorite 6/5 stars! Also on kindle unlimited) London Bone by Micheal Moorecock – StarShipSofa #467 Defy The Grey Kings by Jason Fischer – Podcastle #438 Moogh and the Great Trench Kraken by Suzanne Palmer – Beneath Ceaseless Skies #158
