11 for me. We have some similar and a few different. Some of yours fall under required reading too?

Yeah. A couple of them were required reading back in high school.

Odd how those show up later on. Some of them weren’t bad to me. Others were like pulling teeth!
Since Plato was on this list, have you read “The Allegory of the Cave”?

Possibly. It was in one of my Literature courses my first semester of college. Really neat story.
