I would say it happens to Bill Clinton quite a bit lol... Though it would definitely be interesting to see some type of statistical analysis

I love that he has his jacket on the entire time. He comes home and doesn't even have a chance to take it off lol

I had started reading his short story collection (that contains Guts, forget what its called) back in high school after reading like three of his other books in a row (Lullaby, Survivor and Fight Club), and I was just burnt out on the shock factor thing.

Never finished the collection.

Kafka's story is crazy... He wrote all this amazing shit, but refused to publish it. His dying wish to his best friend was to destroy all of his work. Kafka died penniless.

His friend read the work, and was so blown away that he defied his best friend's dying wish, and published his work.

Great story, but I think I read this one in school

This has been on my watch list for a while now

That is not a short story lol

Crazy book though.

I don't know about scary, but I would assign Teddy by J. D. Salinger.

Also, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce.

Another one I really like that I feel like nobody else has ever read is: After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned by Dave Eggars (it's written from a dog's POV)

I guess this is more "short stories that I like" lol

Look for comments that say "# THIS IS MALWARE"

I think it's intentional.
