   Heck yeah dude. All I used to read in high school were old “Best American Short Stories” anthologies that were collecting library dust. They were like my equivalent of those Punk-o-Rama comps everyone used to listen to.

   Anchor Book of New American Short Stories for sure. Probably others.

   I read the Documents of Contemporary Art anthologies straight through… also, not so much an “anthology,” but I read Richard Kostelanetz’s Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes straight through…a number of french poetry anthologies, a lot of comix anthologies, anthology of concrete poetry, the early Atlas Press anthologies, the avant-garde today: an international anthology, a lot of anthologies/collections of various avant-garde/experimental fictions/poetry…

   so, yes.

   No. But I’m sure I should have. And anthologies also ought to have secret mysteries or gimmicks encoded in the text to reward readers who do this. Like you get a special message about Ovaltine if you compare the last sentence of each story, or something.

   Just a thought.
