I like Hobbes. He’s archaic in his writing and it takes a lot to “grok” him.

Being the illiterate that I am, my sole knowledge of “Hobbes” is “Calvin and Hobbes”. I mean, I knew that some philosopher/think was named Hobbes, but that quote is the first thing I’ve read that he wrote, and I grok it right well. Makes me want to try a bit more of the original Hobbes.
