I really like the short story genre. When I was a kid, I loved Steinbeck's "The Red Pony", and Mark Twain's collected short stories were hilarious. I especially liked the one about the group of senators stranded in the wilderness who hold elections to find out who should be the next to be eaten. (I guess I had a strange sense of humor as a child).

Hemingway is the master, of course. Tim O'Brien's "The Things they Carried" (sort of a combo of novel and collection of short stories) is a more recent one.

Any other favorites?
