This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I've been reading contemporary thrillers lately and decided to branch out to classical ones, so I bought "The Complete Poetry of Edgar Allan Poe" online a few days ago. However, I'd misunderstood the word "poetry", so what I got was a book with only poems. :ROFLMAO: I actually wanted to read Edgar's short stories. I first knew him was when I was watching a puppet show featuring his short stories in 2018. At that time, I thought he was a scriptwriter.

See above. What did you think "poetry" meant? We don't refer to famous writers by just their first name.
