Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's look at "Everyday Use" which is heavily anthologized and frequently assigned to students today. Let's talk about the past and heritage and how we view those in our lives. Is it immutable? Does it change?

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Wow, clearly one of the best Horror Short Stories we've ever read! Let's talk about "The Human Chair" (人間椅子 or Ningen-isu) by Edogawa Ranpo. Clearly a lot of Edgar Allen Poe influence in this Japanese horror short story. Let's talk about lookism and class elements too.
