I love this, and the way you said it, nihil.

I guess i can still point out that certain works have proved their value, and continue to, in so many well-read hearts (and minds) that they are reasonably called 'classics;' and that it may be not unreasonable to see if you 'like' such works, as they do come well-recommended by many.

I said, "in many well-read hearts (and minds)" because I think a recommendation from one who has selected a favorite or a few from among hundreds or thousands of candidates, is likely to be more discerning than one from a neophyte reader.
