What are you reading? Short stories feel like such an indulgence, which is weird because they take less time. I think it’s that you’re committing to finishing one in a single session.
theaccidentalsexcoach I think that’s true. Also that you get this whole immersive world experience in a sitting vs. needing to get into it. It’s just this year’s O Henry Prize collection (edited by Lauren Groff, who truly knows how to write one herself). This volume is nice since every story is from a different collection instead of just being stuff I’ve already seen in the New Yorker (although I say that and the first two were ones I have read previously elsewhere).

tortitude When I had more time, I used to buy each year‘s Best American short stories and poetry collections. I’m not sure when I started thinking of those as indulgences - prolly when I had kids lol.
