Poet

that's a misleading statistic though..one would expect such books to read, they are part of the syllabus. Outside they are dead books

I respect your opinion but I highly disagree with you. I don t think they are dead books at all. Aristotele and plato are two of the best philosophers of all time! Their written ideas have a lot to offer since today and they will continue. About human nature and how we think and act. Have you read any of their work? Me not as much as I wanted.. I think I m not ready yet to study them..

Hi Poet, I think you misinterpreted me a little. I was not disputing the value of the books or their ideas. I merely meant that they are dead books in the sense that nobody outside reads them; they are not popular books. Your last statment proves my point: neither of us has read them!
