Instead of re-posting the entire list again, I've added these titles to it. You can see the current full list here. This brings the current total to 333.

If you have a story you'd like to add to the list, to help reach the goal of 1001 short stories, please let me know in a comment. If you've read a short story this week that you'd like to share please feel free to leave a link. I'll post an updated list of short stories towards the end of 2009.

I was going to add Forster's The Road to Colonus. But I see it is already on your list.
