Huh... I would not think that would be a reason to praise the value of the content over another work...rather I would think that would be a "collector's" focus.

I guess that makes sense. I just know that I am almost as likely to meet my favorite modern authors as I am to talk to Socrates. XD

I guess...I don't think of writings (barring perhaps deconstructionist/dadaist works) as alien. Yes, culture and technology is different...but people/society still seems very much similar at the core through history to me.
