Completely missed that reply, sorry for the delay. Well, I've been raised on classic French literature since I could read, and I agree with you. I read all the time. I'm afraid I am biased towards dead writers and philosophers, and not much of a "modern" or "polar" genres. You're right. It gives you a certain subtlety that I found people who are not well read terribly lack. I have always been staggered by how most people couldn't pick cues in a person's behaviour that were so clear to me. It also helps in rhetoric, and helps tremendously in conversation and understanding. You're right. Sorry for the delay.
