Favorite short story?
My English department is trying to come up with some new short stories to teach to our freshman. What are some of your favorite short stories?
Books Read in 2016: 4/50
Re: Favorite short story?
It's an obvious suggestion, but Sherlock Holmes are all so good. I just read The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes for the short stories category of the SBC and could not put it down.
I'm also a big fan of O. Henry and Guy de Maupessant stories.
Edited to add: The Lottery was just scary. It wasn't bad, just scary and creepy, to the point that I never have to read it again.
If you can find them, some of Kathryn Forbes stories from Mama's Bank Account (you may know it as I Remember Mama) might be worth it, though they are a bit "dated" for modern readers.
I could recommend chapters from Cheaper By the Dozen (the chapters are fairly self-contained remembrances, but they do overall tell the story of growing up in the Gilbreth house), but with the same caveat.
I have two favorites: The Long Walk and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Both written by Stephen King.
