Here are some more information for Hugo Meyer:

It is a natural human trait to believe that for art to be great it must be old and the artist must be long dead. A Van Gogh wouldn't be worth quite as much if he were still alive today. That same sentiment, consciously or not, is also applied to literature. We have some excellent writers today, but do any of them equal the genius and mastery of the language of Hemingway, Twain, Dostoevsky, or Hugo? In my opinion, yes.

The last fifty years has produced some remarkable literary talent. Their work is not only good: In many ways it is better than that of the old masters. They have taken the best of those that came before them and discarded the worse; they have, as Newton did, stood on the shoulders of giants, and seen farther.

There are many out there, but here I offer five of my favorites:

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Set in some unspecified post apocalyptic future, The Road is a work of sheer horrifying genius. This is in my opinion, the best novel of the last hundred years. It won the Pulitzer, but somehow this doesn't' seem enough. It deserves every accolade we can heap on it. It is brilliant, riveting, and absorbing; most importantly however, is its ability to cut through the heart of the human spirit.

Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee

This is an astonishing work of penetrating insight and incomparable brilliance. It won the Booker Prize, and it was mainly responsible for Mr. Coetzee being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. It is set in modern South Africa, and follows the life of an early fifties twice divorced college professor. If you haven't read it, be ready to be blown away.

Beloved by Toni Morrison

This novel is a dazzling triumph that won Ms. Morrison the Nobel Prize. And rightfully so. It is a beautifully written, mesmerizing tale of slavery and life afterwards. It is what roots could have been without the melodrama. Beloved is brilliant, brutally honest, and Ms. Morrison's crowning achievement.

The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski

In this powerful, haunting, unforgettable novel we follow the life of a young boy wandering through Eastern Europe, during and after World War II. But to say we follow is not enough: The reader sees through the eyes of the boy, and at times the brutality and savagery is so overwhelming, many claim not to be able to finish the book. It is a rich, provocative, and spectacular feast for the senses that it is guaranteed to leave you changed.

The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan

This is the Heart-wrenching story of two generations of women clashing in subtle ways in modern America. We have four mothers and four daughters each telling us their stories. We get to see their lives and how their past experiences have served to shape their present attitudes. It is a superb tale told in magical prose. It is a profound and compelling work and by far Amy Tan's finest work. The Chinese scenes alone are magnificent. This is the sort of novel you can read again and again.

The moral here is, not to get stuck with outdated reading lists. There are countless modern masterpieces that deserve your attention. These five masterpieces, however, you have no option: You must read them.

How To Get Great Prices On Designer Suits

"Two thousand dollars for one suit? Are you crazy? I don't have that kind of money to spend on one suit! Yes, I am well aware of the quality and that it is well worth every penny. I just can't justify spending that much on one garment. Oh... but I sure would love to have an Armani."

Rest assured that if you hear yourself in the above comments, you're not alone. Countless businessmen would love to have fancy designer suits, but their budget doesn't allow for it; champagne tastes on a beer budget... understood! There's a way you can get one or more of these suits without costing you an arm and a leg. If you could buy one for anywhere from $15 to $300, and it wasn't stolen goods, would you? Read on.

Definitions about what makes a man's suit a "Designer" item vary. One eBay seller's definition is "any brand of pre-owned suit that has sold on online auctions for $300 or more." The definition continues, "See for yourself. Do a search on completed auctions for MEN'S SUITS. Sort High to Low in price and see what brands repeatedly come up."

Here are some of the brand names classified as "designer": Acquaviva, Barberini, Baroni,Belvedere, Brioni, Canali, Charvet, David Eden, Dolce & Gabbana, Enrico Venturi, Ermenegildo Zegna, Fendi, Gene Meyer, Gianni Manzoni, Gionfriddo, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Leonardo Valenti, Luciano Carreli, Natazzi, Nino Bertini, Otello, Prada, Rossetti, Trussardi, and Versace.

Where are you going to find these suits? If you want to pay under $20, you will need to start hunting at all the thrift/second hand stores. Yes, you will indeed find them there, but you need to search. If you don't mind paying a little more, try going directly to eBay.

If you opt to hunt for your suit, here are a few simply tips for thrift stores. Don't expect these wonderfully made designer suits to jump out at you. And don't expect to find a boatload of them all in one place. It is truly a matter of treasure hunting.

Thrift stores, estate sales, storage unit auctions and garage sales will be your best hunting ground. Not to discourage you, but it won't be uncommon for you to look through 100+ suits until you might find one "good" one. The good news is that after you have a little experience under your belt, you will be able to whip through an entire rack of suits in mere minutes. You will be able to quickly tell just by the look and feel of the garment, which ones are quality. Take your list of "designers" with you and become familiar with the brands you want.

Hint: You will probably need to have a circuit of approximately 10-12 second hard stores that you frequent, hoping to hit the mother load. If you're intrigued in the quest, shop a minimum of once a week at each locale! Your efforts will eventually pay off. If this is more work that you care to spend on finding a suit, try eBay.

Enjoy your new dashing designer suit!
