Like Shakespeare and Homer.

Couldn't stand Tolstoy, Joyce, James.
Flaubert, just looking at it on my bookshelf bores me.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Only the Clouds? One MUST read Lysistrata. One should read the Frogs. One must read Aristophanes with Euripides or else you miss why he picked on him so often.

But I have a sneaking, slightly wicked fondness for the Thesmophoriazusae (In the Penguin editions called the Poet and the Women.) I have a certain fondness for the Wasps as well.
