How to Read and Why by Harold Bloom.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows~J.K Rowling..
I need to go to the bookstore.....
Leaves of Grass, First and "Death-Bed" Editions,
--Barnes & Noble Classics
i have to thank virgil for his high praise of the first edition which inspired the purchase.
"He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."
---Jack Kerouac, On The Road: The Original Scroll
Turning Training into Learning: How to Design and Deliver Programs that Get Results by Sheila W. Furjanic and Laurie A. Trotman.
It's for my next job.
Thanks Jon. I'm no expert on Whitman, but I think the first edition is the better. I don't think he edited well. When he just let it out he was at his best. In all fairness to him, he was really breaking ground with his form and didn't have any models to go by. I've grown to really respect Whitman as I read him more.Originally Posted by jon1jt

Becoming Jane Austen by Jon Spence
"The elements themselves do not endure;
Examine how they change and learn from me...
Nothing retains its form; new shapes from old
Nature, the great inventor, ceaselessly
Contrives. In all creation, trust me,
There is no death -- no death, but only change
And innovation; what we men call birth
Is but a different new beginning; death
Is but to cease to be the same..."
--Ovid, Metamorphosis
