Last week I reread "Legend of Sleepy Hollow". It's one of my favorite stories to read in the month of October. I first read this for American Lit 101 in college, around Halloween. Ever since it's been on my "October Reading List" and try to revisit it when I can. Definitely sets the mood for some spookiness!

"It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day; the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet." ( )
