My love, she sleeps! Oh, may her sleep,
As it is lasting, so be deep!
Soft may the worms about her creep!
Far in the forest, dim and old,
For her may some tall vault unfold--
Some vault that oft hath flung its black
And winged panels fluttering back,
Triumphant, o'er the crested palls,
Of her grand family funerals--
Some sepulchre, remote, alone,
Against whose portal she hath thrown,
In childhood, many an idle stone--
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She ne'er shall force an echo more,
Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
It was the dead who groaned within.
Just a bit of Poe's "The Sleeper"..one of my faves.

Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask Of Amontillado is my favorite short story ever. A lovely little story of someone getting bad-mouthed, and then that person getting the final revenge.

I love those guys!
Edith Wharton's also very good, Aurthor Miller's ok too.
And of course my main man Shakey-low (aka Shakespeare. How great was Macbeth?)

John Kennedy Toole wrote "The Confederacy of Dunces" and Dalton Trumbo with "Johnny Got His Gun". As far as I know those are the only books they each wrote, but they are two of the best books I've ever read.
