While there are other contenders that I will accept, it is my contention that Leonard Cohen is the greatest songwriter of our era. Hallelujah is overused, but for the simple reason that it is _incredible_, and the "Jesus was a sailor" verse of Suzanne is the best piece of musical poetry out there.

Read Shakespeare of course. Loved Great Gatsby, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Things Fall Apart. College introduced me to Vonnegut, with Player Piano. I'm struggling to think of any that I hated.
US and UK friends, I'm curious: What books were part of your required reading for highschool literature class? Which of them do you remember loving, and which did you loathe?

One of the toughest problems Microsoft has to solve is that Windows has to serve two very different types of users: business users who don't want this at all, and home users who don't want this at all.

The proper resources to learn about past eras of the US social order is as follows:
1950s: Tom Lehrer songs
1960s: your most Californian uncle
1970s: Doonesbury
1980s: Bloom County
1990s: SportsCenter
1776: the musical, "1776"
1950s: Tom Lehrer songs
1960s: your most Californian uncle
1970s: Doonesbury
1980s: Bloom County
1990s: SportsCenter

Sometimes I have to take a deep breath and remind myself that not everyone learned their 1970s US history from binging years of old Doonesbury comics in 5th grade.
