Anyone interested in Poe discussion group

[Dark Muse]

This is an idea I have tossed around in my head a couple of times, and decided I would throw it out there, sense the two dicussion threads I most activetly partook in are currently both on break.

I love Poe which many here probably already know by now. He is one of my favorite authors, and I think his stories are amazing.

Is anyone interested in starting up a discussion group for Poe's stories? If so just post here to let me know, and if enough exrpess an interest than we can try and get something going.

[HerGuardian]

sure. I'd like to :)

[Dark Muse]

Hehe cool, hopefully now some others will decide to come and join in

[Dori]

Maybe, maybe not...

[LadyWentworth]

Hey! I would be completely up for it. I know I probably won't be able to do any serious reading until September because I have too many things that I need to take care of right now that seem to be taking over my life, unfortunately. :( That is the exact reason why I was unable to get involved in the Shakespeare discussion like I'd hoped to. But by September everything should be in order (hopefully!). So, yes, I would LOVE to discuss Edgar! :) I love the man!! :D I haven't read any of his writings in so long that it is ridiculous. This will be the thing that will push me into it again. :)

[Dark Muse]

Hehe well I am going to wait to see if a few more people hopefully decided to get envolved, so you have some time before it acutally starts.

[LadyWentworth]

Yeah, I kind of figured that since the idea of the topic is very new it would take a little bit of time to see if anyone else would want to get involved. :) I figured I was "safe" with not missing anything. :) I will see if I can get anyone else interested.

I'd love to join in :D

[HerGuardian]

why not starting with some of his short stories to make this thread active so that people notice it and join in?

[Dark Muse]

Well now that is seems enough people have shown interest to get a discussion going I will more than likely offically open the thread at the end of the month as Lady Wentworth expressed she will not be free untill September and I told her I would give her some time, and give others a chance to join in.

[lucybonett]

as a Poe lover, i'm in.

[aeroport]

I'd be up for it. I've only read a little EAP here and there, and he's a pretty interesting fellow. I start classes next week, but so much of his stuff is fairly short, I think I could probably participae. :)
Plus, he's a very popular writer among readers of all ages; I don't think you could really go wrong with starting a thread.

[Dark Muse]

Thank you, I plan on offically opening it up at the end of the month.

[LadyWentworth]

Will we be discussing his poetry also? Or do you think we will stick to just his stories for now?

[Dark Muse]

I think it could be interesting to dicuss some of his poetry. I might see how the story thread goes, and if it does do well open a seperate thread for his poetry

[LadyWentworth]

Sounds good. :thumbs_up

[J.D.]

I'll be doing Poe with my American Literature classes at the end of September, so I'll probably reread and join in, too, to see if I can take any new perspectives to my kids.

[Dark Muse]

I will look forward to it. I am glad to see so many people seem to be interested. It should be a good group

[LC_Lancer]

I would like to join the discussion when you begin.

[AmiceTheBard]

I would love to, I love Poe and all his writings

[Dark Muse]

You may join in the discussion about Ligeia that we are doing right now in the Poe discussion thread, or if you do not have time to get the story read, and don't want to enter the dicussion late, you can wait untill we start a new story for October.

You can find the Discussion thead here:
