Awhile ago I downloaded several books including things like War & Peace, Sense & Sensibilities, Ulysses etc.
Some of them are quite thick, and I am wondering if I mostly did so to seem intelligent or smart on some subconscious level.
Have any of you gotten enjoyment or insight from any of these kinds of books? or is it just society and schooling that are telling me these are "good."?
That sounds awesome in its own way, but after C&P I really didn't want "more of this please"! I'm into another sort of masochism, where I read my old David Eddings-books again and try to map out where it shines through that he was a complete monster.
