Aw, thanks! Poe is a pretty great writer. On a side note, has anyone read Poe's novel? I just recently heard about it because it's apparently really crap.

If you're talking about Arthur Gordon Pym, I read it once but found most of it forgettable. There are some good bits (like the Flyiing Dutchman) but it really doesn't hold together as a novel well at all.

"MS. Found in a Bottle" is better, along with the hoax about the Western/Canadian expedition (I forget what that's called) for much of the same sort.

I think Poe doesn't get enough credit for his humorous works. His sense of humor seems very 19th-Century, but it can be pretty amusing.
