My interpretation of the intent of this thread is to name and praise monumental authors, such as Shakespeare, so.

Ayn Rand who's masterpiece Atlas Shrugged has sometimes been acclaimed as the second most (important, edifying, read, influencial) book in existance, following the Bible.

Despite critical scorn and continued derision from intellectuals, progressives and ignoramuses, Atlas has remained a popular favorite and today sells more copies than it ever did.

Why? Because, as evidenced by pointed and frequent references to Rand and Atlas Shrugged in the media, an increasing number of people see their society devolving into a nightmare scenario much like the one Rand projected over a half century ago.

English lit professor.... I forgot stellar!

I like Shakespeare.

Seems more fitting to bad-mouth Jesus' mum. He's the father of English lit, drama, theater and the inspiration for half the thespians in the fukin world.

I happen to rather like the bard. However, Thomas Middleton is also good and of the same era. The level of ultra violence in The Revenger's Tragedy is something to behold.
