Popular yes. "Brilliant works of literature"? Hardly. The breadth of your reading is clearly very narrow. Start with Medea by Euripides, then move on to Homer to continue your journey.

I just really enjoy his writing. Creates beautiful paintings with words. And as another poster said, english was not even his first language. Wether you like the topic or not, he was a great writer.
