Well, maybe not quite there. But close.
This ghost story collection is hard. It's old and Victorian and slow and verbose and UGH!
But I'm trying to take inspiration from everything I've been reading, and use this as an opportunity to challenge myself and become a better reader. It helps that the stories are bizarre and a little frightening.
This is probably a lesson that if I want to challenge students, I should make sure I'm doing so with topics they'll dig.
And in the meantime, I'll try working out words like "obdurate" and reading footnotes about 19th century French geography.
