| Poe's Grave |
I have always been fascinated by what drove certain authors
to write what they did, or where they were living at the time of writing such
great works. I have toured a few famous authors’
homes or “chased an author” as I call it, including Washington Irving’s Sunnyside in New York .
And we recently started a book club and along with reading books from all different genres, we also sometimes take field trips related to the current book we're reading.
For August we read two tales and one poem by Edgar Allan
Poe (or more if we were so inclined). I grew up on Poe and loved his stories of lost love, terror, suspense, and horror.
