False, I've never had a position that requires them.

False. Never have, and doubt I ever will.
As it happens, I'm now on the last hundred pages of Frank Herbert's The White Plague, and... it sucks (gotta finish it for my book club, though). Sorry.
TNP likes X-Ray (member of the hip hop group Monsta Island Czars).
I haven't read The White Plague, but I really enjoyed Whipping Star, The Dosadi Experiment, and especially Destination: Void.
True, regarding Shakespeare. Always hated being forced to read him in high school, but I've come around. Maybe 14 is too young to force the Bard on the average - or even the above-average, as I was - English student.
