Marlowe kicks some serious ass, but I couldn't pick whether or not I like Goethe's or Marlowe's better. I study German at university, and reading Goethe in the original language is pretty damn epic.

Speaking of epics, I'm adding Beowulf to my hated list. Not because I don't like the story. No, it's because I have read it too many times for too many classes. I get it. The dude can rip arms off! That's cool! His lineage? Not so much.

Eh. To each his own. I think his humor is based more in the laugh you get out of society as a whole through the situations they end up in. He uses a lot of irony. For example, Slaughterhouse 5 has Billy Pilgrim take shelter in the building the book is named for during a bombing raid. I'd imagine that, given the choice, you would not want to escape death in a slaughterhouse.
