Have any  of you read the Arabian Nights tales? Would you recommend them or a 
class  dedicated to them? Real literature? Infleunce on western literature,  
specifically the picaresque and brazen humor illistrated in not only Candide,  
but an american author as well-- 



A couple of John Barth's books were variations on these tales (told by  
Sheherezade, if memory serves me well)...forgot which, though; anyone else on  the 
list help me out here...?
