A Summer of Short Stories

I know that I will read several novels this summer, both adult and young adult ones. Still, for a couple of weeks, I've been thinking that I need a plan for the summer, a plan for reading and/or writing something everyday. I have considered walking to the park every morning and doing some writing, like maybe planning to write one poem a day, and I might still try to do that on some days. But tonight, while I was doing my five-mile walk, I had the idea that I could read one short story per week day, and I could only read them from books that I or Valerie already own but I haven't read.

Here are the short story books that we own that I have not read:

• Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri
• Diamond Dust by Anita Desai
• The View from Castle Rock by Alice Munro
• The Stories of John Cheever - I have had this book for a very long time, but I have only read a few stories in it.
  
• The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter
• Go Down, Moses by William Faulkner - As far as I can remember, I have only read one story from this book when I was an undergrad. Do you know how long ago that was?
  
• The Early Stories: 1953-1975 by John Updike - I have read a few of the stories in this book, but it's a big book with lots of stories that I haven't read.
  
• Collected Stories by Carol Shields
• Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger
• The book of Ten Nights and a Night by John Barth

We also own several short story anthologies and some literature anthologies that include some short stories. I will have plenty to read. My plan is to get up every morning and read a story before I do anything else that day. I have nine weeks of summer vacation, which equals enough days for 45 short stories. I will try to post/tweet about each of the stories, but I'm not making any promises that I will stick to that part of the plan or to the plan itself. It will be fun to try though.
