Hi Rick,
Oscar Wilde's The Ballad of Reading Gaol is really good. I just sniped an old book of his essays and letters (things that supposedly aren't in print any more) so maybe there'll be more good stuff in there.

Somebody had a listing for something signed by Oscar Wilde in 1822. That's pretty amazing, considering he died in 1900 at the age of 46.

I thought about reporting the auction, but chances are good that eBay would not have known what was wrong with it.

I like Mark Twain more for the quotes than the stories even though those are good, too. He said quite a few things that are worth repeating.

Right now I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov in between the thousand and one other things going on. Did that Richard Burton guy who is not an actor write anything worth reading?
