Poe Delivers....Of course

As much as I love Edgar Allan Poe, I can't believe I haven't read "William Wilson" until now!  It's typical Poe and well worth the read.  I got interested in it because Lisa Scottoline said that she read it and it gave her the inspiration for her book THINK TWICE.  I'm glad I read it!  It's definitely a story about how we all have two sides....like DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.  In "William Wilson," it's an interesting twist, though because the second Wilson is the first Wilson's conscience even though the first Wilson never admits or acknowledges it.  I love the way Poe put this story together, too.  The only negative, if there is one--there really isn't, is that Poe, as per his usual, includes quite a few words that the reader has to stop and take the time to look up.  For me, that's a big part of what makes Poe's works so valuable and worth reading.  If you want to study for the SAT, read Poe!  (And Faulkner.)
