You know what they say: never judge a book by its cover? Sounds like the advice of lax publishers, if you ask me, but somehow those twined words have entered our lexicon of mildly annoying phrases. I've been known to disdain cliches, and yet I resort to one, I know. But this particular kind seems appropriate. Because you can always judge a person ( Read more... )

...There's a lot to be said for John le Carre.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:50:47 UTC

He seems to be quite popular.

cost_benefit March 27 2009, 03:54:33 UTC

There's actually reason for it. Though he's gotten a little heavy-handed recently. The Cold War stuff tends to be better.

Who doesn't enjoy a warm snuggle with the Cold War era? Regardless, your taste seems to be in good company.

Charles Dickens. And Shakespeare, and the Brontes, and Jane Austen. Those are the big ones, at least.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 03:51:32 UTC

Another Austen? Interesting.

Who doesn't enjoy a little Shakespeare? Are you more a fan of histories, tragedies or comedies?

booktothehead March 27 2009, 03:57:19 UTC

She's good.

...Mostly the comedies. I like the characters more. But Hamlet is probably the best.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 04:39:03 UTC

I'm a fan of Hamlet, as well. But Othello ranks highly with me. I have a fondness for Iago.

...I'm not much of a reader.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 04:37:44 UTC

This face? What does it communicate?

Shock. Pure and utter shock.

speedolightning March 27 2009, 16:56:36 UTC

Yeah, yeah, I know, shocking. But it kind of defeats the purpose when you can read a book in about a minute.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 16:59:27 UTC

Then why not read everything?

Shakespeare. And Hoffmann.

enigmaestro March 27 2009, 04:38:21 UTC

Any favorite Shakespearean play? Or his sonnets, perhaps?

inky_sword March 27 2009, 04:42:58 UTC

As You Like It.

I like reading the works of the ancient Greeks, the old philosophers. I like more modern stuff too, but my philosophy class in college was my favorite.

sutureself_45 March 27 2009, 18:00:18 UTC

May I suggest Aristotle? His mastery on such a range of topics is inspiring.

h4ck3r_61rl March 27 2009, 18:01:32 UTC

You like the old guys too?

sutureself_45 March 27 2009, 18:29:20 UTC

I appreciate the men of their times. Ceasar, Aristotle, Machiavelli...
