Starting The 365 Project: Read A Story A Day for 2013

The speculative fiction short story is my favourite literary form, to read and to write. So many themes, so much characterization, so much to say, all in a just few thousand words. When it comes together, it zings. They're easy to consume too; most can be read in under an hour, sometimes less than half an hour. And they're good for a taste test of an author's style.

Recently reading some short stories, I've come to the conclusion that I don't read them enough, for enjoyment and for research or academic reasons. It's time to remedy that.

From today on, I am going to read or listen to a reading of a speculative short story or novelette every day for the rest of 2013. By the 31st of December, 2013, I want to have consumed 365 stories.

Since I'm starting this a little late, I do have some catching up to do. Some days in the early parts of this project I will read two stories a day as a make up for the first eighteen days of the year missed.

Each Saturday I will post a listing of the stories I've read for the previous week along with some short comments.

Onwards with the Pickled 365 Project for 2013!
