I try a Booker or two every year and enjoy a great novel but get bummed trying to make progress on ones that aren’t for me. I have a few novels (not necessarily Bookers) about half way through on the pile as it is, so I went looking for what short story recognition looks like out there and found the O. Henry Prize. I don’t know why I started with a 2009 volume, it was probably just the first collection in the search results for used books. Anyway, these were great. I’ll probably grab a few other year’s to have on hand, take on vacation, that sort of thing.
