When you read a book with short stories how do you read ?

1.cover to cover
2.skip through the book
3.Or just pick 2 or 3 and quit the book for now

Just like any other book - cover to cover.

[Doc Wilson]

Cover to cover, can't imagine doing it any other way.

[GreenEyes]

Cover to cover...don't want to miss out on any hidden gems!

Hi,

On first read I read cover to cover in the order that the author selected (although see Everything's Eventual foreword) but on subsequent re-reads I read in a random order as the mood takes me.

Long days and pleasant nights

Cover to cover. I'm too scared of missing one...

Cover to cover the first time through, but on rereads I skip around. I always thought the story order was that way for a reason, like song order on albums.

In order, hoping that they were sequenced with meaningful intention by the writer instead of the other folks in the process.

I'm really starting to dig Short compilations again. Despite how wrong I am (rarely) about a lot of things, The Short is coming back.

Cut sentences with a razorstone. Bring meaningful prose with zeal. Write clean.

I like reading a book cover to cover. But when I reread this book, I pick some stories that I like and read them.
