recording of The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Raven Edition, Volume 2 by Edgar Allan Poe. Read by Volunteers. Monday, January 19, 2009 marked Edgar Allan Poe's 200th birthday.
Though these tales need no introduction, the rationale for starting with volume two is threefold: many of the best-loved (and best) tales are included, the vast majority run from 15 to 30 minutes, and the other volumes can then be recorded without repetition, if there is interest in doing so.

I almost skipped this one because the title didn't grab me. Really glad I didn't. The content inside is miles ahead of what the description suggests.
The way Edgar Allan Poe uses stories and examples to illustrate points is really effective. Doesn't feel like a lecture at all — more like a conversation.
I've been in a reading slump for months and this finally broke it. Something about The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Raven Edition, Volume 2 just clicked and now I'm back to listening every day. Grateful for it.
Recommended by my colleague and I see why. The kind of book that makes you feel smarter without making you feel like you're studying. Light touch, heavy impact.
