Welcome to the first post of the rest of your life....that sounded wittier in my head.

LitBlog's primary purpose is to give you literature from the broad definition of it. This means what I give you or provide links to isn't supposed to be "academic" or boring. I won't be the pennicle of high culture but I can promise you I won't be like any other blog with poor reviews of movies you have seen or single posts of awful photoshopped images in the vein of lolcats in which martin luther king jr. says I Has U a dream but i eated it.

and now....

The Work of H. H. Munroe

There are only a handful of nineteenth century authors consistently seen by the average reader which is a shame, because it every so often happens that a man of wit slip through the cracks. It's hard not to love a man whose last words were "Put out that goddamn cigarette!" H.H. Munroe or Saki as he went by is easy to read. This is unheard of in most short stories. Anyone who has taken an english class can attest that to that. Here are two shorts that give you an idea what you are getting into. The first is an awesome werewolf story about stupid people and the art of illusion.

I'll be posting more from him later.

Unauthorized Parody of the Day

Thanks to the internet unauthorized foreign copies of works have resurfaced. This is brilliance from the eastern block. If you have ever been a kid, then you know winnie the pooh. But do you know Vinni Puh? You will. He's a brown panda bear with more humor than the multimillion dollar disney version.
