Went to an all catholic girls high school. This was required reading. I read a couple of pages...and said no thanks...it's trash. To my surprise...they said okay...

Give me O'Henry. I think ALL his works should be read.

But O’Henry will not be read either. No more Great Works in Literature. Schoolchildren will learn all about Obama politics and will be taught it is all the truth. Pravda Media and now USSR teaching in our schools.

Got sent to the principal's office in 1971 for writing a parody on this trashy novel which I titled "Shortstop in the Wheat."

I won't go into details, but lets just say that, looking back at it now, I deserved the resulting detention. Had I wrote it today, I would probably be considered talented and witty.
