In honor of Edgar Allan Poe's birthday today I am going to read some of his short stories.

I really can't wait for the Poe movie to come out this fall.

Poe movie?

There's a Poe movie? Do tell!

Happy Monkey · 01-20-2011, 11:58 AM

It's about a guy who nobody can tell whether he's insane or joking.

Number 2 Pencil · 01-20-2011, 02:06 PM

Starring John Cusack, and not much else is known

Ohhhh, John Cusack, even better!

I always thought if I had been alive then, I would have been E A Poe's girlfriend.

Happy Monkey · 01-20-2011, 02:28 PM

More info. And another upcoming Poe movie. Possibly a third?

I've noticed a certain anti-intellectualism going around this country;
since about 1980, coincidentally enough. … I was in Nashville, Tennessee,
and after the show I went to a Waffle House.
I'm not proud of it, but I was hungry. And I'm sitting there eating and reading a book.

I don't know anybody, I'm alone, so I'm reading a book.
The waitress comes over to me like, [gum smacking] "What'chu readin' for?"
I had never been asked that. Not "What am I reading?", but "What am I reading for?"

Goddangit, you stumped me. Hmm, why do I read?
I suppose I read for a lot of reasons, one of the main ones being so I
don't end up being a fucking waffle waitress.

Completely. I'm 75% through, and having a great time.

I also recommend "The Force is Middling in this One."

He is a funny guy.

I would favorably compare Bob Kroese to Douglas Adams, except that Adams had a typically dry British sense of humor, and Kroese is decidedly American, geeky American at that, using Linoleum as a plot point and sneaking in a reference to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.
