'In Flanders Field' by John McCrae is a great poem. It's a 'rondaeu' about war and death and the fights we inherit. But I would HIGHLY suggest getting your hands on a modern translation of 'the iliad' ...I've read it three times, it's about the Trojan War, or Homer's take on it, and it's centered around Achilles and Hector and Helen of Troy and Athena, while it shows how the gods interfere in the 'war over a woman.' There simply is not better reading. Anywhere!

The Man Who Sold the World- David Bowie

unabashedly

uh, yes! I told my favorite author, at the time, via email, parts of my life story, and he thought I was making it up and that he couldn't be bothered by such nonsense. It was apparent he was a jerk. So, I quite reading his latest book, and haven't bought anything else of his. I know my story's hard to believe, but he treated me with such contempt. I'll leave him to his own sick sad little world... and not bring him into mine.

One of the best LONG reads (well into the night and next morning) was when I read Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare! It was rather humorous at times, seeing Venus was an older female throwing herself at her young love (Adonis) in passionate pleading, and Adonis being kind of reluctant to accept her advances. Really, one of the coolest poems you'll ever find (though being Shakespeare, I'd suggest finding a volume with notes, for it really elevated the enjoyment for me.) And if you find Venus and Adonis and read it, then I'd follow up with one of my all time favorite poems 'Adonais' by Percy Bysshe Shelly, which was an elegy about the death of John Keats. Really, two great reads for those who are seriously into the classics like me!

by the way, I wanted to get in this thread and point out Elizabeth Barrett Browning, woman is amazing! If you really want to get into some good reading material for poetry, I'd suggest anyone give her 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' a read. I think its a cycle of 40 some sonnets written during her courtship with her husband to be at the time, and she didn't show them to him until after they married, had kids. She kept them from him until one day when his mother died, she gave them to him to lift his spirits. And what's more interesting is that the title 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' was a ruse, pawning them off as translations of Portuguese poems, in order to throw the public off the notion that they could ever be her originals and could therefore possibly be about her and Robert Browning's courtship or love life.
