I don't read as much "heavy" stuff as I used to. I can't imagine I'd tackle The Prince now (I was about 23 when I read it). I'm not sure whether I should class myself as agreat intellectual because I've read so much, or I'm like the Kevin Kline character in A Fish Called Wanda: just because I've read it doesn't mean i understand it. I think I'm inclined to think it's the latter!
