    Wonderful on Brothers, n yes, greatest novel.
    only Dante exceeds him as in Paradiso
    the vision is unmatched beauty

    on Michelangelo Pieta is equal

    -10 must books:
    i disagree only that one Soren Kierkegaard
    book should be s must ( say Works of love, either or, concluding philosophical postscript)

    he is the ” Very Great” thinker who
    knows enlightenment was a turn to darkness
    , best person has this background before reading all the thinkers he rightfully
    rejected ( in some way like Blake rebelled
    against Newton)
