A lot of those are in 'Endangered Species', which is a very good
collection, though...<br>

<div dir="ltr">In *The Best of Gene Wolfe* story collection, Mr.
Wolfe writes small blurbs about each
<div>story at its close. After the final story in the volume,
"A Cabin on the Coast", Wolfe reveals</div>
<div>that he himself chose the stories contained therein. He
also said that we the reader has "every</div>
<div>right to disagree, but don't tell me if you do; it won't
accomplish a thing. Tell Tor Books instead.</div>
<div>Name your favorite, and demand that it be included in a
second volume."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that this mailing list could probably discuss and
come up with a pretty good list of </div>
<div>30 or so stories to include in such a volume. If we could
come to a consensus (now there's</div>
<div>a likely story!) we could maybe submit it to Tor as our two
cents. Below is a link to the WolfeWiki</div>
<div>page listing<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> the </span><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">stories that were included in the
first volume (add "Christmas Inn" from </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">the British version):</span></div>

<div>If you want to participate, select fifty (50) stories to
nominate and post it. After everyone has</div>
<div>had a reasonable amount of time to chime in, I will tally
the votes and publish the top thirty vote</div>
<div>getters. Any concerns about the list can be hashed out
through discussion after that.</div>
<div>If anyone has an idea for a system more likely to produce a
list reflecting the opinions </div>
<div>of the list, I would be open to suggestions. Otherwise,
why not give it a go?</div>
