from rze Monday, November 10, 2008 - 02:00 (Agree/Disagree?) "I remember reading one by Shakespeare and I had to stop because it was so obviously not Shakespeare." Ahhahahahahahahahahaha. Remember how completely-alive Art Linklater spoke to them from beyond the grave? Their "Shakespeare" is pretty much on par with that. (reply to this comment)

From Fish Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 02:27 (Agree/Disagree?) Not to forget my all time favorite: "The miracle cheeseburger!" For great books, easily my all time favorite is "The Peloponnesian War" by Thucydides. Ive lost track of the number of times Ive read it. The book is stunningly clever and spectacularly well written. Its one of the earliest Western literary works, and ironically, possibly the best. Thucydides is a god. I think I will have to start some kind of religion worshiping him, as well as his "only begotten son" Machiavelli. Machiavelli is doubtless some partial reincarnation of Thucydides, though he deserves homage in his own right particularly for his "Discourses on Livy." To them be glory for ever (and ever)!! Amen?(reply to this comment)

from Baxter Wednesday, April 21, 2004 - 05:31 (Agree/Disagree?) They had the nerve to write a novel and accredit it to Shakespeare? I wonder if that implies legal contravention? I mean, if I was the descendent of a dead Literary master ,would I want my family legacy sullied by the inept ramblings of an inane sex cult? Maybe we should try and contact the living descendents of shakespeare and see if legal action should be pending! (reply to this comment)

from Joe H Thursday, February 05, 2004 - 12:05 (Agree/Disagree?) I read both of those in high school. They are great books, "Cuckoo's nest" is one of my favorite. (reply to this comment)
