The Legend of Sleepy Hollow | Washington Irving

I'm a military brat. At last count I went to 27 schools. When I finally got old enough to tell my teachers I was tired of reading the EXACT SAME books every year we created a special program. I could read any book I wanted as long as it came from the 100 most banned book or 100 best classics list. This was one of the few I didn't get done. I read about 80 on each list (lots of cross over. And yes, my teach made me prove I read the books. 🤓

#backtoreading At some point in English we all had to read a dystopian, no?
One I hate, the other I love.
