LC, I was never very impressed with Solzihenitsyn. Say compared to Salmon Rushdi. I think Rushdi is a much bigger thinker. One of todays biggest thinkers.

I sort of put Solzhenitsyn in the same group with Steinbeck. Great chroniclers of their cultures, but neither had taken the existential leap necessary for any top rate intellectual.

James Joyce, not only incorporated existentialism, he was one of the first to involve the quantum world. Those are the two legs which have to be well planted to support any sophisticated thinking in a grand manner.

Joyce, Sartre, Camu, Marshal Mcluen, Nitezche, Goethe, Russel and all the Huxly's shaped most of my thinking.

And Darwin, the most important scientist to have ever lived, IMO.
