    I hate Zola!
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
    G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

          Yeah, that Uppity humanist! How dare he write in defense of Dreyfuss!!!

          Obviously, Don Quijote is the book to get..cervante's influence can not be overstated..and he lost an arm fighting the infadel, so the Diplomat must surely approve

              Maybe not, but it's more amusing to misinterpret it.
              "Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

                    I'll second Kidnapped, Great Expectations and Treasure Island, and I'll also say that Robinson Crusoe and Swiss Family Robinson are fun books too.

                    Oscar Wilde is amazing - his play Salome has to be read.
                    Also, I'd like to mention Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad" and "Roughing It" - great travelogues.
