Talking about Best American Short Stories

I've been wondering why isn't nobody talking about BEST American Short stories here?
I have read Best American Short Stories 1990,1995,1999,2000,2001, and am now reading 2002.

I found some stories very interesting, a few are hard to read (to me, in my opinion), some are a little bit boring and confusing................

More often than not , I couldn't understand what the author/writer trys to convey after reading a story, even though I "understand" every sentence. I mean I don't know why does a story end that way? What is the story "about"? How to read between the line? Or should I ?

I'm wondering which story or which BASS(s) that you think is the best one/(s)? (apart from BASSs of the Century, or maybe it should be included?)

And why do you like it?

Somethings always bother me when I'm reading stories , novels .... are that I don't understand any literary theory and what's "good writing" what's bad "writing", does that ignorance impede my understanding of literature? But does everyone have to be English major or literati to understand or "correctly" appreciate literature?

Do you have any story in mind that you think are underappreciated? Do you think some stories in BASSs don't deserve to be included? Why? (Give us a call , 1800.... just kidding! I'm a such radio junkie )

We can talk about it here! Although I probably said all I have to say and all I can say, for now.
