I teach SF often and have never been able to find the exact anthology I want to teach! This would be it. I know there are many wonderful stories I left out either because I had no room (you limited me to 25) or haven't read them. There are also great writers whose novels I prefer to their short fiction. But this anthology would be a joy to teach. 1. "Sandkings" by George R.R. Martin 2. "Nine Lives" by Ursula K. LeGuin 3. "Houston, Houston, Do You Read" by James Tiptree, Jr. 4.
