    I will like to read anything by Edgar Allan Poe.
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    Is this available on the net?

    I don't mind reading anything by Poe either... Actually maybe we can give The Fall of The House of Usher? I think it was Virgil who was mentioning it?

    No thats fine.
    Basically its a really short story that can be read 'live' while whoever are participating are on msn. and at the same time we are all on the litnet so the conversation is supposd to cross between the 2. Which is why time zones are important. last year I managed it so we had the Us, uk and australia in converstaion but pensy couldnt join in as it started at 5am her time.

    But it was great fun so any more nominations please?

    Yes, it was a lot of fun. For us in the UK, it was like a pyjama party really!

    When is the deadline for nominations, Night?
