I don't read enough short stories. Anyone wanna rec some good collections they like? My favorite short story authors are probably O'Connor & Akutagawa.

I'm actually just starting Lost in the Funhouse by Barth tonight. Debating picking up some Borges as well (Barth really hypes him up in his "Literature of Exhaustion" essay that I read prior to starting Funhouse).
