You know, some works are probably more interesting lost than found. The titillation is better than the actuality would be. I'd really like to see Homer's take on humor and Aeschylus' plays, though.
It is really amazing, though, how much is so willfully lost or destroyed, even by the authors themselves. I'm not even a writer, but the very thought of destroying a book is enough to send me into chills.
