Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

What are some amazing classics? I'm thinking along the lines of Pride and Prejudice or A Tale of Two Cities. (But not those because I have already read them... i love them.) I need ones that I will thoroughly enjoy reading. (link)

"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas is thoroughly amazing, arguably Dumas' best work. Also definitely read "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. "Lazarillo de Tormes" is a very funny book, and well worth tracking down. And if you want small, easy to digest bits of weirdness, read Edgar Allan Poe.
Hope this helps.
