Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Not short stories, but I have two books that I read in high school that have stuck with me more than most:

  1. Where the Red Fern Grows
  2. Fahrenheit 451

You read Where the Red Fern Grows in high school? We read it in fourth grade. It was pretty traumatizing. Great, but traumatizing.

I read Fahrenheit 451 and my ass takes everything way too literally so maybe that’s why I was able to handle it. I liked it as a story and kinda saw the deeper meaning, good book
