This is assuming you dont want summer reading tier stuff like 1984 Catch 22, and Western Canon/Meme Regulars, for all of which you need only go to the sticky.

Oxford World Classics and Dalkney Press is also acceptable.

The collected stories of flannery O'Connor is pretty good. I read more before it, but short fiction, especially very unsubtle short fiction, is easy to get into. Also, read the Dubliners.
