Are you serious? If you are check out The Raven (Find it free on the net).
EDIT: Sorry, I see now that you were kidding.

I like Poe, and I have seen Lovecrafts works on the shelves of Barnes and Noble but never thought to pick any of them up. I thnk I will now.
I think I am also going to go up into the attic and get my old literature book down today. There was a whole section on Poe and this thread has got me hungry for his stuff again.

Sorry, going back to what I said early. Lovecraft in one of his stories says a black man was uglier in life then death and then in another story has a cat called N Man (The N stands for the words, I'm not writing it.)

I thought this was a discussion on Poe, why are we talking about Lovecraft?

They are comparing them. They are both good writers! Sick N Twisted

This is not comparision. Start a Lovecraft thread if you want to talk about him outside of comparision.
I'm so annoyed. I can't find my copy of Poe's poetry.
Another of his short stories I like is "Morning on the Wissahiccon." It's hilarious. |

There's something intrinsicly irreplaceable about having a book in your hands.

It's why the word sorry was the first word I wrote.

i just found out the reason i recognised his name is because i read one of his stories called 'the sphinx' or something like that.
right now, as i type this, i have a book full of his stories and have the page open at his story called 'the gold bug'

You were serious that you didn't recognize Poe?

There is a reason there is bile in my toilet. So I'm guessing he did.
