Not a question, just a statement. If you have not read "The Oblong Box," don't waste your time. I believe the story was written intelligently, but the plot lacked creativity. Seemed as though the main character was too nosey and I knew the ending long before I ever got there. Other than that, I love Poe's work.

Re: "The Oblong Box" . . . How much of the lack of creativity and your knowing the end of the story might be due to the fact that the plot of the story has been repeated a zillion times since it was written more than 150 years ago?
