It's so good. I think everyone reads Belle Starr, but I learned so much reading his others, too. "Wedlock" is one of my favorites.

It's good! Definitely older now, but it has so many classic stories that use different forms.

Proudest moment of the week so far: when I stumbled through an awkward weightlifting metaphor for my writing class and randomly asked a student for the name of a famous bodybuilder and he chucked out "Ronnie Coleman" like he's been waiting all semester for me to ask him. What took me so long?
