Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story in 1838, "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", in which three shipwreck survivors in an open boat kill and eat the fourth, a man named Richard Parker. In 1884, in the real world, three shipwreck survivors in an open boat killed and ate the fourth, whose name was Richard Parker.
Man, I Love POE!!!
PS I know many of you could care less what I am reading, but others may want to know what I think totally rocks. Anyway, right now, I am going through a Steven King phase. That being said, here is what you should definitely pick up. Under the Dome, which is one of the best books I have ever read and From A Buick 8, which I am currently listening to in the car. The latter is heavily alienesk..if that is a word lol. however, the story telling of both will blow you away. I have never read wit to match King's. I am also currently reading a book on books and literature by Michael Dirda and finishing Nefertiti by Michelle Moran.
