King Druss, "Into Thin Air" was recommended to me by DSG. I really enjoyed that one. Even though I favor a lot of the classics like Dante, Petrarch, Cavafy. One I really liked/like is The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker - won the Pulitzer: posthumously. A real flame.

OFF TOPIC Druss--thank you for that candid post. I enjoyed reading it. I am too busy to talk today...but later. I NEED AN OPINION! If anyone here is investing in silver or related, or has expertise in resource stocks in general; and if they have the time to read a fairly long post... What do you make of this person's opinion?

OFF TOPIC I liked your list. Boccaccio I have not read, but I am going to make a point to do so. Fair is fair... "The Writings of Thomas Jefferson", "Meditations of Marcus Aurelius", "The History of the Peleponnesian War", "The Masque of Comus", "Russian Folk Tales", "Quo Vadis", "Eugene Onegin", "The Stranger" (Camus}, "Oliver Twist", "Youth/Typhoon/The End of the Tether" (Conrad). Quote from "Youth" He drank again. "By all that's wonderful it is the sea, I believe, the sea itself--or is it youth alone? Who can tell? But you here--you all had something out of life: money, love--whatever one gets on shore--and, tell me, wasn't that the best time, that time when we were young at sea; young and had nothing, on the sea that gives nothing, except hard knocks--and sometimes a chance to feel your strength--that only--what you all regret?" And we all nodded at him: the man of finance, the man of accounts, the man of law, we all nodded at him over the polished table that like a still sheet of brown water reflected our faces, lined, wrinkled; our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone--has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash--together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions."
