Those authors in bold have been recommended by one or more people as being generally mindfucking - any books listed under their names are particularly odd. You're welcome to /msg me to make an addition to this list.

Il più felice è Tello di Atene ( I, 30) Testo originale Dunque Solone, partito per questi motivi e per desiderio di conoscenza, giunse in Egitto presso Amasi e poi a Sardi presso Creso. Dopo essere giunto, dunque, veniva ospitato nelle regge da Creso. Poi, il secondo o terzo giorno, dato che Creso insisteva, i servi conducevano in giro Solone presso i tesori e gli mostrarono tutto ciò di bello e grande vi fosse. Creso, dopo che egli osservato e visto tutto, come aveva la possibilità, gli chiese così: "ospite ateniese, è giunta a noi gran voce di te, per la tua saggezza, per il tuo girovagare, di come per amor di saggezza e per curiosità hai visitato molti luoghi; mi è ora giunto il desiderio di chiederti dunque se hai già visto qualcuno che fosse il più felice di tutti".
Allora Creso, stupitosi di ciò che era stato detto, chiedeva con interesse: "perchè mai pensi che Tello sia il più felice? ". Secondi, o Creso, furono Cleobi e Bitone (I, 31) La fine gloriosa di Cleobi e Bitone (I, 31) Cicerone, Pro Archia poeta oratio.

10 Essential Books for Book Nerds. What makes a book nerd? Reading a lot of books — and liking to talk about said books — is a major requirement, of course, but there’s often something a little more nebulous involved: book nerds are the kinds of people who get a little thrill when walking into a bookstore, who press volumes into their friends’ hands with serious promises of life changing moments, who are fascinated by following the many tangled threads through authors and literature, happily wandering wherever they might lead.

Personal tragedy was, unfortunately, a recurring theme throughout Edgar Allan Poe's life. Born in Boston in 1809 to actor parents, he never knew his father David Poe, who left his mother and disappeared soon after Edgar was born, then died in Virginia in 1810. His mother, who suffered from tuberculosis (then called consumption), died in Richmond, Virginia in late 1811, orphaning Edgar, his older brother William Henry, and half-sister Rosalie. Frances Allan of Richmond convinced her wealthy merchant husband John to take the child Edgar into their home.
