Now on to type this summary with help from the glorious invention called "Internet"

I read the complete anthology of his poetry and short stories when I was in high school. Which story was it?

Hop Frog. It was a nice story but just too POEtry for me

I can sit and read a self help book easy but when it comes to stories, its gotta be interesting for me to grasp. This Hop Frog story was nice because of the ending, I sort of understood what was going on. Im typing the summary now, gotta get to 9-10 sentences for the intro and then SOMEHOW type a whole damn essay on the "setting' of this story. Thats going to be hard I think. Im going to re-read it again before I type the essay though.

Enjoying my first of two 9-day vacations this year. Trekking to my home town to see family, old friends, a gallery exhibit, antiquing adventures, vintage bookshops, and a few Meetup events. Had time to kill before the trip so this afternoon I visited my favorite local bookshop and picked up first edition 1964-65 hardcovers of John Lennon's poetry and a 33 1/3 volume examining the sampladelic wizardry of DJ Shadow and his epic plunderphonic masterpiece, Endtroducing... from 1996. Delighted to check that one off my wish list!

Is that for your English class or is it because I dropped a link to it in Batlord's thread? That's one of my favourite short stories. It takes a little bit to really get going, but it's a great introspective on [thoughts withheld until Mindfulness writes his essay because I don't condone cheating] and [withheld until essay completion].
