I used to read all the collections of "The Years Best Science Fiction" by Gardner Dozois
I stopped reading them after a while, because it felt like eating a box of assorted donuts. Very creative/stimulating but too many idea changes, too short and too quick.
I really find novels more compelling compared to short stories. They seem to have more depth, explore more adjacent things, allow for character development, take the time.
In fact, nowadays from time to time I go too much the other way. I quit at book 7 of the 20 book series because there're not enough new ideas/momentum.
- vessenes 2y agoOh man, I miss Gardner. He had great taste. I own almost all of those Anthologies, and agree that they were best read slowly.
