This is a very good reason to leave a copy of Aquinas’s Summa Theologiae open on one’s desk. It is a suitably impressive and erudite book to have the reputation of reading, even if you are not Catholic; but folk won’t think any the less of you for not having finished it before you die, for nobody has ever read it straight through.
The literati seem to favor James Joyce. 😀
Since Aquinas is more readable, Joyce is a better choice for the literati 🙂
Especially Finnegan’s Wake 🙂 🙂
