How I Got It: I own it!

O. Henry, the pen name of William Sydney Porter, is known for short stories with surprise endings.

I feel like I should apologize to my former English teachers for never having read O. Henry.  His stories are just so much fun.  I love the little twist endings.  I love his social commentary.  I love the writing style.  It feels like you are sitting in a pub with Henry while he recounts these random tales.  I was thoroughly engaged in the collection and could not put it down.  Lots of fun for a bit of weekend reading.
