1) I would like to propose a book, (undoubtedly a classic), a wonderful book, that everybody will receive huge benefits and gratifications galore from it. No it is not the Bible. Just few chapters of this book, that stand very well by themselves, while the whole book would be a huge concrete block of 10' on everybody's stomach. It is not fiction. One of the most admired author of all times has described it as a river of gold.
2) I would like to propose a book, (even more undoubtedly a classic), a wonderful book, that everybody will receive huge benefits, gratifications and emotional stimulations from it. No it is not the Bible. Just few chapters of this book, that stand very well by themselves. A recent poll of 125 contemporary authors by J. Peder Zane, published in 2007 in The Top Ten, has declared that this book is the "greatest novel ever written". But it will also be a big match for us, frantic readers as we are. Maybe too much.
We have both of these book on MR.
Please, do tell me something about this issue.

Not sure what you're getting at here, but the nomination thread for next month will come around in a couple of weeks...
