E,

<<the Catholic Church, in the 18th century, was so alarmed at the power of the novel to stir the emotions, that the printing or reading of novels was forbidden in Latin America for two hundred years>>

I didn't know that. Given the quality of some of the novels that have come out of Latin America in this century, I have to wonder what we missed.

I could add some names to your list, but if we added all the ones that belonged there we'd be hogging the bandwidth a bit. If Rick wants one piece to convince him that words convey emotion and spirituality as well as any other art, I'd suggest Tolstoy's short story "What Men Live For"... I think that's the one. It's been a while. Two small kids in the house greatly improves one's appreciation for literature, and greatly reduces the time available to indulge it.
