It is indeed. But when speaking of famous individuals, it is quite common to refer to them by their last name; thus, Wilde, Putin, Blair, Arafat, etc. And so, Poe.

One thing I didn't like was the poor little donkeys had big fat American tourists on their backs because they were too lazy to walk up the valley of the queens. (And no, I'm not generalising, they really were fat and American because they came over to talk to us later. I'm sure the donkeys also have to suffer under the weights of various other fat tourists!)

EXK: Is American Gods good? I've heard about it, and thought of getting it.
Azalea: very nice. And Deweyed too; sweeet... GW: Excellent collection, good sir. Although I must say, I find your Star Wars a bit frightening, in a numerical sort of way... HB: Nice library. And the Archives of Anthropos; I remember those! I was just thinking about them yesterday, and trying to remember the name of the series! |

I actually don't own many books at all. The only ones I have on my bookshelf that belong to me are ones that people have bought me.
That said, I work at a public library and have an entirely different shelf of books that are next on my to be read list. Presenting... -=drum roll, please=- Separation of Power by Vince Flynn Executive Power by Vince Flynn Memorial Day by Vince Flynn Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn Fragile Things by Neal Gaiman Stardust by Neal Gaiman New Moon by Stephenie Meyers That should last me about a month and a half, as long as I actually decide I'm going to read all of them.

I'm really behind on all my books. I just don't have time to read these days.
