Could have been easier to navigate.
I had hoped this collection would have introduced me to new 'stories' in a more structured way. There did not seem to be any way of choosing in which order which one listened to these. The chosen order seemed to grate. I would have liked a one sentence introduction to each author. The qualification for 'short' also seemed very variable.

Boring Stories
Good readers but a poor collection of stories. I should think the most boring stories written by the respective and usually respected authors. Cruelty to the readers (very good but at least they get paid!) and especially to the groaningly bored listeners.
