Let me tell you, reading this list gives you an education.  Much better than 
in some 'universities' I have taught in.

Satan offers The Son the wisdom of Athens, and The
Son's reply includes the following: 

Who therefore seeks in these
True wisdom, finds her not, or by delusion
Far worse, her false resemblance only meets,
An empty cloud.  However many books
Wise men have said are wearisom; who reads
Incessantly, and to his reading brings not
A spirit and judgment equal or superior,
(And what he brings, what needs he elsewhere seek)
Uncertain and unsettl'd still remains,
Deep verst in books and shallow in himself,
Crude or intoxicate, collecting toys,
And trifles for choice matters, worth a spunge;
As Children gathering pibles on the shore.
(Paradise Regained IV 319-331)

Fantastic. 

Spirit and judgment - that's what we need.
