Here's a working version of what I'd have done for 2007 and 2008 were I doing a BEST SHORT NOVELS -- letting the definition of "short novel" wander down to about 15,000 words (about where Jonathan drew the line, I think sensibly), and only duplicating my other books a little bit:
Note that each selection includes 11 stories, and would be in the neigborhood of 230,000+ words -- too long, probably, so a real book might have to be only 8 stories or so.
