+196"I never let my schooling get in the way of my education." Mark Twain has some of the greatest quotes, amirite?
Living in Hannibal, Missouri makes you appreciate Mark Twain less and less.
I sort of agree about Mark Twain but I don't think Edgar Allen Poe is an acceptable substitute.
i think both of them are great
Actually, it was the other way around, but that doesn't mean that Edgar's works of insanity weren't the best childhood stories, ever. ^^
Oh snap! No you di'int.
Mark Twain's awesome!
Indeed! He didn't have to be drunk to write some of his best works.
Edgar Allan Poe wasn't just a drunk he had Manic-Depressive Bipolar disorder which is why his stories and poems grew more and more disturbing
It's not that he isn't a good author. It's that his writing is disturbing, as you said, so it isn't for everyone.
@1112913 (1koolkoko): The BBC special that was shown in my English class discussed that as an alcoholic, he was under the influence while writing sometimes. I know that isn't the sole reason why his writings were so dark, his personal life sucked.
yeah but most people think that's the only reason but it's not so i'm just pointing it out
I don't think so, but thank you for pointing it out just in case.
I like both of them? I love Huck Finn and Poes poems. I can't remember the name, I believe it was called "The Red Death".
You mean Poe's short story called "The Masque of the Red Death?"
bahahha bushy-eyebrowed bullshit.
mark twain sucks.
