I just finished reading everything ever published (probably everything ever written) by Edgar Allan Poe. That's about 842 pages of thick literary meat in what appears to be size 10 [i]Times New Roman[/i]. I liked all the stories and poems, having no particular favorite, but especially found [url=http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/eapoe/bl-eapoe-lionizing.htm]Lionizing[/url] to be hilarious. This was also after finishing [i]The Divine Comedy[/i], and based off my recent experimentations in writing (of which I've yet to publish), I must conclude that the act of [i]heavy reading[/i] has drastically improved my style of composition -- unseen, of course, in this particular thread, though it shall be apparent on the next occasion that I post something on Writers' Corner.
