FW ranks among the "absolute" works of art, imo, but I wouldn't call it (or any other work) the best.

Dante would've wanted you to spend more time reading Dante and less time posting the same thing in multiple threads for several days.

If you quantify this as being the effect that a piece literature has on society, wouldn't the Bible win out?

I think he means that it is the abstract definition of literature: a bunch of letter combinations that may or may not give meaning to the reader

If this was the case, then wouldn't any of the books in Borges' "The Library of Babel" fit the requirements?
