Did not finish book. Stopped at 63%.
By the time I passed 200 pages, I found I was reading this collection just to read it, and I really wasn’t enjoying it. Also, while these short stories are considered classics, Stevenson’s racist depictions of BIPOC people were too much to ignore. These stories might be for someone, but not me. 🙅🏻‍♀️
