<div><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.
