at least I'm almost done with Poe's only published romance. which BTW, is well worth a read...

How did you like the book? It is one my favorite novels I have read. It really kept be interested in reading it. I real page turner as I wanted to know what happened next.
I often wonder what else he would have written had he lived longer.
