Summer Reading: My Five Favorite Poe Pieces

This summer, I decided that I would read the entire collection of a writer that I consider great. I thought about going after so many different people - everyone from Octavia Butler to Shakespeare - but finally settled on someone (creepily) close to my heart: Edgar Allan Poe!

There's my little Poe button. Whoo!

Edgar Allan Poe on Truth

"Thus there is such a thing as being too profound. Truth is not always in a well. 

In fact, as regards the more important knowledge, I do believe that she is invariably superficial. The depth lies in the valleys where we seek her, and not upon the moutaintops where she is found." - Edgar Allan Poe (via his character Dupin) in "Murders in the Rue Morgue"
