yesterday morning, I read washington irving's the spectre bridegroom.
if you have any experience with washington irving,
um.
I don't know how to end that sentence. especially since my entire experience has been the legend of sleepy hollow (but of course) and rip van winkle (no duh). I really have nothing to say about irving, except that I found sleepy hollow appropriately thrilling (and there's a really long, rambling story about it from my childhood which I will not relate); and also that for school a few years ago, I got a big-kid illustrated-for-coloring version of rip and enjoyed it immensely.
spectre bridegroom… I really liked it. it's similar to sleepy hollow in its satirical, slightly sarcastic "this is a ghost story, be frightened. ha, what a dummy" way, and it was obviously supposed to be predictable, which added to the charm. also the last line made me crack up, and that is always a good thing in a story. …unless it's, you know, not supposed to.
this, however, is supposed to be sarcastic, and therefore I quite enjoyed it. heh :)
