The Best Short Stories of O. Henry by O. Henry

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.

The stories had a whimsical quality in their writing style within some variance of prose but ultimately they were all written a very long time ago by a cis, straight white man (as far as we know) and that felt reflected in the writing style, which I could not sustain for hundreds of pages. Perhaps it reflects on memore and just my personal taste but I'm saturated in diverse modern writing these days which I prefer. Also it was due back at the library and if that happens and I'm not called to ignore it and keep it past due which I am with many others, I take that as a sign of my disinterest.
