How many of you have actually sat down and read a volume of Edgar Allan Poe’s tales? Is this something people do? He’s a very influential author, but…these tales can be pretty hard going. Some are great, don’t get me wrong, but many are quite dull or confusing. I honestly found Washington Irving to be much easier going than E.A. Poe.| Substack
Have a feeling that I'm gearing up to re-read MOBY DICK. After HUCKLEBERRY FINN and LAST OF THE MOHICANS, it seems like the natural next book. Have really been enjoying the other Melville I've been reading, so I am hopeful that I'll enjoy MOBY DICK more this time around than I did 12 years ago.| Substack
