When I was very little, my older and younger brother were crammed into a small bedroom. Mom and Dad took turns reading to us at night. Mom would read books like Old Yeller, and she cried with us at the end. Dad, however, enjoyed reading Greek mythology to us, alternating with Edgar Allen Poe. I will never know why he chose Poe. The telltale heart gave me nightmares. The Greek myths were great though. Reading the Bible brought me much more peace and helped me get to sleep much better when I was in 7th grade and was in my own room by then.
The Bible is truly the greatest book I ever read on my own. I went through every page from Genesis to Revelation, twice.
The pen is mightier than the sword, and mightiest when wielded to transcribe the Word of God.
Poe is a skilled and memorable writer, and a troubled man.
