my fave type of book is short story collections and anthologies stuff like that. short stories are like literary m&ms that you can gobble by the handful

Nathan Ballingrud's 2 short story collections are extremely good and got talked about a bunch in tbb

Evenson's Song for the Unraveling of the World was also pretty good

Its pretty good imo but I really don't recommend taking long breaks like that from it. Its definitely a confusing book and you kinda need to read it twice to get the most out of it. Apparently the publishers forced wolfe to write a coda to the series to explain things but it didn't help readers at all. Its definitely not a Turn your brain off airport fiction kind of thing
