I read this back in middle school and had forgotten almost everything about it other than the final chase scene - and even that, I'm sure, was more me remembering pop-culture's version of it than the original text.
This is an October group read, and I'm glad several people in the group mentioned that it wasn't action packed, nor especially scary. Knowing that let me sit back and enjoy all the descriptions and characters rather than wondering when the ghost story was going to start.

Came for the Sleepy Hollow, stayed for the piles of other short stories.
Sleepy Hollow is the classic story of the nerd and jock competing for the affection of the rich girl. The nerd gets friendzoned and then the jock terrorizes the nerd by throwing things at him as he is on his way home.
I don't think I've read any Irving before but I liked the short stories collected. I don't know why, but I expected a book written in 1820 to have a lot of obscure language in it, but this was surprisingly eas ...more
