> In an effort to answer the question, "How 'great' are the Great Books?", I have created the beginnings of a crowd sourced survey, and it would be "great" if y'all were to beta test it for me -- http://bit.ly/bPQHIg ...So far Montaigne's Essays is the "greatest" with Shakespeare's Antony And Cleopatra is close behind.

Already Rousseau's Discourse Upon The Origin And The Foundation Of The Inequality Among Mankind has displaced Shakespeare. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
