I've always loved Homer's work

I read the Dragonlance one, Wuthering Heights, Alice and Illiad.
Alice and Illiad are both great books but Illiad is one of my favorite books so. I vote for Illiad.

Lewis Carol was a paedophile- alice was a little girl who lived round the corner from him and he was "fascinated" by her

Lewis Carol was a rampant paedophile- but from a time when the word simply meant someone who liked children, as opposed to the word pederast, which is what they used to mean what we now do with paedophile.
