Complete tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

Castle books Introduction by Wilbur S. Scott So in my try to incorporate on my readings more classics I bought the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe because I have always enjoyed reading his work. But it isn't as nice as I had imagined becuase well the lovely Poe uses a complex language and the font  of the book is super small. I managed to read only: The Unparalleled Adventure of one Hans Pfall The balloon hoax Mesmeric Revelation Ms. Found in a bottle A descent into the Maelstorm Von Kempelen and his discovery The gold bug The facts in the case of M. Valdemar The 1002 tale of Scheherazade The Murders in the Rue Morgue The mystery of Marie Roget The fall of the house of Usher The purloined letter The tell-tale heart The Black cat So yeah I did not get through many yet. I really like most of them except maybe the 9th but oh well over all it was pretty good but I really think I'll take my time and come back to it the next couple of months and finish the ...

An epic fantasy story people have been hyping it so much that I have big expectations. From the book description, I get nothing other than it is full of magical fights. Children of time by Adrian Tchaikovsky a sci-fi. The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age—a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. They have to fight for the planet, who will win? That just sounds ...
