Short stories are normally very interesting to read and there are great short story writers all over the world in different languages. Some peolple are addicted to short story reading written in regional languages like telugu, tamil, hindi and malayalam etc. Some read short stories written only in the English language. How about you?

I love reading short stories. But it is not that I only read short stories. I am an avid reader and read almost everything and every type of writing I can get hold of. Starting from news paper, short stories, novels, classics, financial magazines almost everything. Particularly I love short stories because I can complete it in a single sitting and proper short stories have an ending that will leave you thinking about the fate of the characters going forward. I mean it ends but it will leave you with a question what happened after that. I love constructing my own stories for the characters there after.

Yup short stories are interesting to read. Short stories are easy to understand and enjoyable to read. Most short stories have moral lessons and children, teens are the ones who are into short stories. I like reading English short stories which would broaden my vocabulary. English written short stories are not the ones I liked but also stories written in my local language.

I love short stories either in Filipino, Ilocano or English. There are lots of good short stories out there that are full of life's lessons. What really amazes me is how the writers can put so much life and color in a limited number of words. Not only that. Short stories can be read in just a few minutes but their message stay much longer than novels.

I only read short stories published in Hindi News paper. I don't like reading in English as the grammer they use is very difficult for me to understand. I like reading english comic very much though. I don't remember people whose short stories I like the most but the fav is Premchand. He also has written some good short stories, isn't it?

aweh, yeah I'm english, don't speak any other language. so I can't read the ones that others are addicted to =P Id like to, but .. not right at this moment :) Ill just stick to the random ones that people tell me to read because theyre so good. I love short stories, Ive heard alot of good ones. I find it so cool how people can write so little but tell so much. they have stories that absolutely wow me, and I'm just in awe. shocking ones, ones that make me feel emotions that HUGE books do. I think its just really cool. when I write, I can't write short stories, they have to be really long otherwise I don't find I'm able to get the message out. not that my stories usually have a message ... but still, you get what I mean I hope. but wow, I love em :) theyre cool. maybe thats what I should try next for writing, a short story with a message ahahaha. well anyways, ttul. peace :)

Although I have download some short stories onto my MP4, I don't have much time to read them. I think we should try our best to get something good for us, no matter how short it is.
