Edgar Allan Poe
Why We Like Him: We like Edgar Allen Poe because his stories are absorbing. Edgar Allan Poe matriculated in February 1826. He attended the University of Virginia (UVa) way back in the days when people looked like lithographs and nobody smiled when you took their picture and they still listened to the victrola, even though it hadn't been invented yet. OK, we are kidding. But we do love Poe's stories.
