I'm in search of books that consist of many short, somewhat connected stories. Pic unrelated.

Anything by Mark Twain.
He couldn't write novels, but he could loosely string together a novel's worth of outstanding short stories.

Seconding these.

I'd suggest checking out Winesburg, Ohio. Books a bit old school, but it's a very nice read.

I believe OP was asking for a book of short, interconnected stories. He didn't specifically ask for a GOOD book of short interconnected stories
