Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I like them both. A good short story is a wonderful thing! When I am pressed for time, or just want to relax, short sotries are what I look for. Novels, a major work for an author may contain more background, plot twists, and take longer to read and enjoy, but, to me, a short story is the hardest thing in the world to write!
