And don't forget "What's Opera, Doc?" "Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit, kill the WABBit!"
(Although I love opera for its own sake too.)

I tend to read "the classics" as I do any other book, as the mood strikes me. Some have been real duds ("Lady Chatterley's Lover"), some have changed my life ("Ulysses"). And while the idea of a shared cultural background sounds good in theory, the world is vast and wide and it'd be a shame to only limit my reading to some else's list of books, however well considered it may be.
