Some of my book reports for English class were based on books that were recommended by Miss Marken, such as a book by Aristophanes, the Greek humorist, which is kept in a locked cabinet in the library, you have to ask the librarian but I had teacher's permission, and which actually did not seem particularly funny in English translation, although I suppose that a deeper understanding of the times and history and also the Greek language would improve my not particularly great impression of the humorous aspects, certainly.
