I was surprised how much fun I had with these stories

5 stars

I didn't know what I got myself into when I started with this book. However, this was an enjoyable experience as I paired the reading on the page with the audible version so I got the spoken word in my ear while following along. The stories range from tragic to funny, from boring to exciting, and from well-known to ideas I never heard before. I loved the experience and was surprised how much fun I had with this canon of stories.
