I remember reading The Grapes of Wrath in college, and discovering the connection between its title and The Battle Hymn of the Republic (a truly stirring song!). That was a real "Eureka!" moment for me--one of the most satisfying in all my readings of literature.

Of course, I wish I could read me. Heck, I rented a video copy of "The Mysterious Island" this weekend, only to discover that the writers took enormous liberties with Jules Verne's work. What a rip-off.
