Interest Research
I like reading short stories, and I was wondering that if I created more, and bundled them, if there would be any interest. I will not post a sample here or anything, I just want you to answer the poll  If you like short stories (bundled in a book) click yes, and if not: no.

I like them. I don't often buy them, but I do like them. In fact, my favorite piece of fiction of all time is a short story in a book with other (Nightfall, Isaac Asimov - great story)
If you're going to do this, I would suggest giving the stories in the book an underlying theme - give them a reason for being together in a book.
I would tend to think it's something that is easier to pull off for a writer who's already published. I think a lot of people would only tend to buy a book of stories from a writer they've already heard of.

I really enjoy to read short stories bundled in a book. Its better then reading just one short story.

I don't mind them, depends on the material I guess.

I prefer full length novels, because I tend to get into them more. You get to spend more time with the characters. There are short story collections I enjoy reading, though.
