The entire unabridged Divine Comedy was assigned in Great Books I in college; I doubt I would've gotten it if I hadn't read it and paid attention in class.

[+] spoiler: I read it as "top EARNING" during the episode so I thought JK Rowling was a home run. King makes a lot more sense when I see the question typed out and read it 3 times.
