Who else among us loves the classics? When I say classics, I don't mean Oliver Twist. I mean Poe, Shakespeare, Homer, and the like?
I have the complete works of both Poe and Shakespeare. I also have a volume that has both the Illiad and the Odyssey. I constantly read this stuff. I know more than half of the Raven by heart. Shakespeare's sonnet 141 is my favorite.
Other than that, I like medieval stories. Things like wizards and warriors. The occasional Stephen King book isn't bad. Other stuff that I absolutely love is the unexplained, and true hauntings. I have a few books on that stuff, have read them 10 billion times, and continue re-reading them. My favorite unexplained haunting is the moving coffins of Barbados. Truly out of this world. Literally I believe. Then there's stuff like homuncli, alchemy, bigfoot and nessie. Stuff we just can't figure out. It's just a mind job. Oh and you know of Jack the ripper right? Check out Spring Heeled Jack. Another psychopath that terrorized London int 1800's, yet had super human abilities. Such as the ability to leap above and past several houses in a single jump. The Germans tried to replicate that in one of the world wars, I just don't remember which one. Several soldiers died from the attempt, the rest would up with broken legs or ankles. A lot with spinal damage.
Am I crazy, or just stuck in the middle ages?
