I don't really go for fiction, just movies. Even then, I know the movie's an interpretation and has little, if any, basis in reality. I don't get how the fork some teachers use Danton as some kind of a "learning tool" or whatever in a forking classroom. They might as well put on Monty Python.

The dearth of decent S-J material in English is a tragedy. I bought Hampson's debacle (worst $35 I ever spent IMHO) and I can't find any other books on the net for less than $70. Arrrrg.
