With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way"

Hey Ya'll! Finally, i've brought the book that i've been craving for. And i'm as happy as hell, baby! I met up with my mom at her work place then off to Tampines. We were having our dinner than this kid sitting infront of us caught my attention. He was reading this book and that reminded me that i wanted to buy one. So i dragged my mom to Times. She's not a literate woman. She can't read or write. But she brought this book. A cooking book. Yeah, it made me laugh at first but then again, she doesn't want to feel so left out in there. So i left her at the cooking section. I search the whole store like crazy. Then i came across this book, The Poe Shadow. Yes, it's about the life and death of Edgar Allan Poe.
That's Edgar Allan Poe. I know he's not that good looking. But he was a great man in his days. He was an American poet, short story writer, playwright, editor, literary critic, essayist and one of the leaders of the American Romantic Movement. He was known for his tales of mystery and of the macabre, he was one of the early American practitioners of the short story and a progenitor of detective fiction and crime fiction. He is also credited with contributing to the emergent science fiction genre.
I've read one of his book and trust me, every now and then, i kept flipping through the dictionary. He used such - how am i suppose to say this - pompous words that i have never heard. But i manage to finish the book. He is a great poet/writter.
Back to the new book. :) The Poe Shadow is a novel by Matthew Pearl. It tells the story of one young lawyer's quest to solve the mystery of Edgar Allan Poe's death in 1849. He was also a friend of Edgar Allan Poe. Well, yeah that's about it. :)
Damn, school is reopening tomorrow. I am not ready to go back. But for the sake of the final term, I am ready to sacrifice anything. Chey...
Happy Stalking!
