Brave New World, Cat's Cradle, Stars my Destination and Flowers for Algernon are great choices. I'd argue that Flowers for Algernon is perfectly adequate as a short story.

I've never read Zenna Henderson. I have to now.

Eeeeee, someone else who's read the short story! I'm on your side. The short story was my first exposure to Algernon so I'll always love it more, but it's a great read either way.

If you're anything like me you have a reading list a mile long, but if you get the chance to read some of Henderson's stuff I'd love to hear what you think.

It isn't on Audible which puts it at a disadvantage, but we'll see.
