I love the Vonnegut short stories!

And in general, I really think short stories are an excellent choice for middle school (or even high school) lit classes. Interesting concepts without having to force students to read long books that they might hate. I always loved reading, but making it through a full-length Dickens novel was an awful slog.

Frustrating thing is I had been reading chaptered books at least since I was 4. Between that and speed-reading, whenever they broke up the longer stories (I recall there was a Sherlock Holmes story that took up the last half of the multi-story book) into "read just this much this week" I... couldn't do it. I'd just read the whole thing in one go and make up something weird if we were asked what we thought would happen next. "Oh wow, I was WAY off!" ;)

A little different than Dickens, though, that's for sure. And if the short stories were good, which they often were, I'd re-read a few times before the discussions, no complaints there!

And I just googled to find the name of the other story from those books I also remember in precise detail... except for the title. "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury. Apparently I had a taste for classic/retro sci-fi in literature as well as TV/movies. :D
