ps, if you read the list i posted, you'll probably turn into an ASKE What's wrong with that? most people would say... " a lot " I see a couple on that list, that are "classics" of American Literature. You have a doctorate. What's wrong with wanting to be like Aske?

Forgot my Heinlein
* Job: A Comedy of Justice * Stranger in a Strange Land * Time Enough For Love * The Cat Who Walked Through Walls
A very quick scan shows no mention of War and Peace. And you won't get it from me. For a book often rated the best novel of all time I find it dreadful.

And that's w'out throwing any Greeks into the equation; Plato, Aristotle, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plutarch, and of course Homer and Sappho.
