The US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Maybe the Federalist Papers.

And all the works of literature TRP buries allusions to in M & D. Such as
Lolita.


And Murakami's *Men Without Women* which has NO RELEVANCE at all
to M & D but which I throw on here because a separate post suggesting that
all who like and all who don't like Murakami, as expressed on the Plist,
will be
irrelevant so unnecessary, but I just want to 'share'--today's good
word--that all
who don't would be missing a new collection of stories as imaginative as
any being written and that is one of the best of our time.

And place in it. IMHO.
