Literature.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely try it if I have the time. My father has this book in electronic format, so it's just a matter of finding the time.
With the advent of the Internet, I've generally stopped reading; before, it was one of my favorite pastimes, along with playing "Heroes of Might and Magic." Actually, I didn't read much new stuff, but rather reread old books, otherwise my list would be much longer.
