So I see you're reading blog entries in your spare time. Good. You should be. Read as much as you can this year! And read some of the following stories while you're at it. They're some of my other old favorite short stories that we didn't have time to read during this unit. (Feel free to cite one of these stories in your test essay for unit 1 if you find them more appropriate.)
"The School" by Donald Barthelme
"Harvey's Dream" by Stephen King
"Long Walk to Forever" by Kurt Vonnegut
"The Kugelmass Episode" by Woody Allen
