: All right. I apologize for that lack of taste crack. It
: was unnecessarily smarmy. I think what I meant by that
: was not that you lack taste, but that perhaps your
: literary palate could use a little refinement.

I think somebody's calling the kettle black...

: Ultimately it's all a matter of opinion. But since you
: asked, a great book would be "Don Quixote,"
: or "Catch-22," or "Crime and
: Punishment." There are too many to list. But I
: would recommend you start with the classics:
: Dostoevsky, Eliot, Fitzgerald, Goethe, Melville,
: Moliere, Shaw, Faulkner, and see where they lead you.

Crime and Punishment? You think Crime and Punishment is better than Lord of the Rings? What is the world coming to...
