Edgar Allan Poe's Collection of Short Stories
Of course there are numerous books that one could entitle as worthy of reading, however, these few I have listed are empowering and essential to uncovering new diverse critcal interprations of our culture. Although Poe's collection is considered less contemporary in comparison to the first three, it enables readers to move through the curious psyche of our evolving writers through time.
Imagine a world where you controlled the literature, magizines, books, poetry, news articles. What would you put inside them? Propoganda, gothic culture, la femme noir ? What makes you tick?
