With this change of season upon us, I’ve been inspired to write this post, which I’ll keep short and sweet. In the summer, I read romance novels. Every fall, I return to Poe.
Question 1: Would anyone like to join me as I revisit some of my favorite Poe classics?
Question 2: In the winter, I read one (or two) of the Classics. I haven’t made a decision yet for this winter, but the longer, I think, the better. In any case, I’m open to suggestions. And once I’ve decided, would anyone like to join me in a group discussion–say, a chapter or so a week (and the day to be determined)?
