Weekly Geeks 2011-8: Short and Sweet

February is fast coming to an end - the shortest month of the year, and the only month with less than 30 days in it. It's short and sweet.

So, I thought it would be fun to talk about skinny books and short stories...the kind of reads we turn to when time is of the essence or we want to savor a great story in just a few pages.

This week's Weekly Geeks post is all about keeping things short. Write about any, some, or all of the following:

  • Do you prefer reading short books or chunky books? Why?
  • Do you enjoy novellas? Tell us about some of your favorites.
  • Are you a short story reader? Tell us about some of your favorite short story authors. Is there a favorite collection of short stories you've read and can recommend?
  • What makes a good short story?
  • Do you shy away from short stories? Why?
  • Review a book which is less than 200 pages long.
  • Go through your TBR stacks and come up with five short books you can't wait to read - tell us a little about them.
  • Write a unique post of your own ... as long as it in some way relates to short stories or short books.
Have fun! And don't forget to come back here and give us a link directly to your post using Mr. Linky! Then go visit other Geeks and leave them a comment.
