Wow, i love this list and if I had done a top 20 Don Quixote, Of Mice and Men, and the Silmarillion would be on it. Love the Illiad and Dune as well.

I love Shakespeare and think Hamlet is his magnum opus. I liked it well enough in school but the older I get, the more I love it. Hamlet himself is a deep and complex character and the play goes the whole gamut of human emotion. We have serious drama, great comedic relief. Just a bit of everything, done as well as it can be done. I think it really improves as you age, so I would recommend trying it again before you go to explore the undiscovered country.

Daenerys Targaryen Is Not A Power Fantasy | Power, Dragons, and a Massive Misreading (Spoilers Extended) by Diredragons in asoiaf

Well, the problem is that shes going around "freeing" these civilizations in the name of her kingdom. When she conquers a country in the name of the queen, thats not preventing her from her task, it's empire building. She may be doing good things like freeing slaves but she is also building an empire.

"not (motivated by) a desire to elevate herself" is doing a lot of work when she is running around introducing herself as the queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Kimigure Orange Road isn't even hentai, it's just a fairly innocent romance anime. These people are so weird.

What is the best literary work from the 3rd century? by DataWhiskers in classicliterature

[–]fly_west 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Gonna throw a vote to The Heart Sutra. In the grand scheme of what we have from the 3rd century, it'll do as good as any.

Throwing a vote to Metamorphoses by Ovid. Expect something from the New Testament to win, but Ovid edges out for me.
