Get the book haunted by chuck palunik. Im not sure if thats how you spell his name correctly. (book of short stories) There is a short story about a guy who masturbates while dripping hot candle wax down his urethra and it gets stuck. in the same story a different guy masturbates at the bottom of his pool while his bare ass is getting sucked by the pool jet. unfortunatley it sucks out his colin then his small intestine, he has to liquidate his college fund to do the recovery surgery and lives in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. I read it along time ago.

but realisticaly your teacher wants you to read a story by herman hesse or kurt vonnegut. talk about how its way beyond its time and inspired that generation and generations to come blah blah blah halucast, great depression, blah

To Build a Fire by Jack London is a good wilderness story about an adventurer on the yukon trail in the middle of winter and his struggle with nature and his own human nature.

Ralph Ellison's Flying Home was awsome... you get points for reading a "sophistocated" author too. its actually a really good story

J.D. Salinger writes a book that has a total of nine short short stories. All really quirkly tales, but really really good. The book is aptly named "Nine Stories".
