The Lottery

I've read The Lottery by Shirley Jackson before, for English class last year. I sort of like The Lottery, and I definitely like it better than A Good Man is Hard to Find. My favorite character is Mr. Summers, just because he's always trying to lighten the mood. I think it's a really weird story, especially since the first time I read it it was in the midst of a unit on the Salem Witch Trials. Creepy.
It's kind of like another short story I like, All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury, which is worth checking out on the Internet.
