The New Yorker Challenge (Short Stories)

In conjunction with the" Deal me in Challenge", I've decided to also start reading more short-stories published in The New Yorker. Since I don't read a lot of contemporary fiction these days, this could be a good opportunity to expose myself to new writers that would otherwise not be on my radar. 

This reading challenge would all be very chill with no rigid rules here—just me, a growing list of stories, and a goal to read at least one each month. If I manage that, I’ll consider it a literary victory (and probably reward myself with a cookie or something equally motivating). Feel free to join in if this  interests you at all and I'm happy for any recommendations.

Wish me luck!
