[ the sad thing is yeah, it's so much, but about 75% of it is Dorian just simply not wanting to do work, giving Mark lists and playlists to keep from being bored. ]
Important authors, most to least: Shakespeare, Wilde, Keats, Stoker, Byron, then the three French authors I listed that nobody knows about. Out of those last three, go for Huysmans first, I had a period where I adored him.
With Shakespeare, I've always maintained that it's infinitely better to see a production than to read it, even if the production is something as ghastly as community theater. Alas, this world doesn't have the actors I'm used to (my kingdom for Olivier!) but I'm sure even the local library has Hamlet or Twelfth Night on dvd.
they are all over the fucking place.
