Oh right - there are other Chaucer choices. I do forget sometimes. :) I haven't read that one. (I'm waiting for the Hollywoodization of that story, now that Tristan & Isolde has been given the full treatment. *cringes in fear*)

Good point on the harder sci-fi. There are some important ideas from that quarter. What about Bradbury or Vonnegut? And why does Harry Potter need to be on the list? Just about everyone on the planet has read those already, so there's really no need to encourage people to read them. ;P

*hugs back* Thanks! Sorry I've such a slack lately. Seriously writers block is getting me down. :(
