Next!

Well, it turns out we get to find out today what's next on my reading list. It's going to be Twice-Told Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Anyone actually keeping up with my literary adventures will know that this will be my fourth foray into Hawthorne's writing.

This particular edition is published by Reader's Digest, and features illustrations by Lars Hokanson. It also features two afterwords: one by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and another by Edgar Allan Poe. They were both contemporaries of Hawthorne's, and Longfellow has the further distinction of being a college classmate of Hawthorne's. Both offer high praise of the book.
