1. This a cool one. I’ve been reading it off and on for a little while for an essay I plan to write. He also has another one titled [I think] On Murder. Might be worth looking into.

   • I love De Quincey. I read his “Confessions” in an afternoon, after wanting to read it for years and years.

     He certainly does have a piece called “On Murder Considered as one of the Fine Arts.”

     Any essay that includes “Confessions” will be interesting.

     • That’s so good to hear. Maybe this will motivate me to finish it. I’ve been shamefully putting it on the proverbial back burner.

     • I enjoyed it, but I realize that my literary taste isn’t for everyone. I’m interested to know what you think of it, though.
