Last night we were in the car, and I had Poe’s Tell Tale Heart playing on Audible. That is surreal enough.
“I knew that sound
well too. It was the beating of the old man’s heart. It
increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the
soldier into courage.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart
My reflection was about the first time I read this book. I read a lot of great books in High School and Ill mention a few.
“Tale Of Two Cities”, “Animal Farm”, “Watership Down”, “This is Andersonville”, “The Illustrated Man”, “Old Man and The Sea” are a few.
My grandmother, who was a Librarian, was a great influence on my reading. She took home many books for me. However, it was the high school teachers who laid that foundation.
Thank You
