Monuments Metaphor

Ben,

I really like the idea of using monuments. I am particularly intrigued by your insistence that infamous dead people represented via monument will be utilized along with famous dead people. Not all good is good, and some bad can teach us quite a bit. As well, your mentioning of the fact that you will stray from limiting yourself to only literary figures is a fantastic idea. Some non-literary figures can teach us more about literature than authors. I think all-in-all your idea will make for quite the cool website.
