Reply to comment by ShaoKahnKillah in Update: so, I'm going to read 100 "classic" books, and To Kill a Mockingbird was the first on the list by [deleted]

I love classic short stories. I tutor community college and love talking about them with students that come in, although they don't do much literary analysis in their classes. Worked on a paper for The Yellow Wallpaper today, in fact!

Same. Short stories are one of my favorite mediums of lit. A community college professor got me into them actually, by recommending and reading a Raymond Carver story out loud in class.

Have you read Madeline Miller's little short story called Galatea? It's 20 pages and vaguely reminds me of The Yellow Wallpaper. It's a retelling of the Greek myth of Pygmalion.

I haven't read that! Is it available anywhere online? A lot of short stories are.

I have read Circe, though!

I couldn't find a pdf anywhere unfortunately. And Kindle wants $10.99 for it. A 20 page story. That's insane. But check your DM here and I may be able to help you :)
