Edgar Allan Poe's predominantly named "The Raven", not just the one story but also a collection of his other work which ive not really read much of...

Is it his entire collection, or just "The Raven" and a few others? If it's the entire collection, I recommend the following:
"The Gold Bug"
"Silence -- A Fable"
"Decent into the Maelstrom"
"The Cask Of Amontillado"
and "The Masque of Red Death"
Poe is a brilliant writer.
im not sure yet, i know its illustrated by Gustave Dore though

Not sure if that's the one or not but I have his entire collection in one volume around here somewhere.
Each story a very intresting read.

I also have all his stuff in one volume. The one Crow got appears to be just a few poems, but has nifty original illustrations, which is cool.
yeah i pretty much bought it just for the stories and it turns out to have illustrations too, not bad for £5.99 i suppose
and iyl be sure to check back with info Kevin

i just bought "Catcher in the Rye", by JD Salinger looks like an interesting read.
it came yesterday, basically its just The Raven with illustrations but its still awesome, has the Poem in full then a line by line with illustrations by Gustave Dore
i guess iyl have to look into his other work
