Moro:

I agree. Neruda's metaphors are mindblowing. He can put two disparate thoughts together to forge a compelling new image. And he does it over and over and over.

Saully:

I haven't read that one yet. I too have a list of books to read "someday." I have also discovered that sometimes "someday" is too late. I finally got around to reading "Catcher in the Rye" when I was about 40. I concluded that if you don't read it while you're still a teen, you may as well not bother. lol.

I suspect that Atlas Shrugged has more staying power.

It does -- To do it right (and take 6 months or so) I should have taken notes because it contains much that's written about today. One issue in particular is whether those who have become economically successful through their own knowledge and abilities should be required to finance the lives of those who have not.

Where/what do you teach?

Nice to see another crazy liberal here.

Pretty dense but very interesting.

A buddy of mine turned me on to the "Rain" series by Barry Eisler. Good, easy reading about a Japanese/American hit man named John Rain. I recommend it highly, if you like the genre, but you MUST read them in order, starting with Rain Fall. I'm on the third one, and I hate putting them down.
