A great collection of stories with thought provoking questions

I purchased this book to use with college students I taught, but I have found the stories work well with upper high school levels as well. The questions that are included are varied and help to build success as the student works through them. I would recommend this book not only to teachers, but to anyone who enjoys a unique collection of varied writing styles. This book would also help anyone wishing to become a better writer.
