Re: Greatest achievement in literature
The Bible:D
But as for an answer your looking for, The Odyssey in up there. Man, Greek Mythology is awesome. But, I'm only 17 and not that intelligent. So, I'm starting with a teenage level Greek Mythology book "Percy Jackson and the Olympians". I'll read The Odyssey when I'm older and wiser

"You may have the same

You do not value Itachi's
sacrifice. Instead you just
throw your anger at anything
and everything. You have
wasted the Uchiha clan's
sacrifice."
Re: Greatest achievement in literature
Hmm. Shakespeare, Homer, Plautus, etc.
Or Junibee Jones.

Just had a test on Hard Times .-. His narrative style is a bit annoying to be honest, but his satirical style keeps me happy. Originally Posted by iMicLykTyson

Re: Greatest achievement in literature
I think the art of war is worth being on the list. I also recon more contemporary titles like Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit, and Harry potter are worthy of being included as great literature, but it depends on what your definition of literature is.
