The Greatest Book Ever Written (3 Viewers)

Herodotos, The Histories: I just keep reading it, it's brilliant! How do you come from epic poetry and myth to form history, an essential form of study? I think Herodotos is the greatest writer of all time!

Ulysses is by far, hands down, absolutely the best novel ever written.
EDIT: The Odyssey probably comes in a close second.

Anything by Friedrich Nietzsche - if I had to pick one I'd say "Beyond Good and Evil: a prelude to a philosophy of the future"

Nietzsche is awesome beyond comprehension (occasionally literally).
Mr EaZy sounds like a moron.

I like your style. I'd just like to add that for all the talk of its 'difficulty', Ulysses is a hillarious work, with hundreds of puns, allusions, and comically exaggerated narratives.

Love loves to love love.
