Plays are for theatercucks
Poems are for fags
Reading novels is for queers

The only thing that is both poetic and manly is baseball commentary on the radio.

I like you.

My list would be:

Novel: War and Peace
Play: It's really a problem to choose among the supreme works of Shakespeare, but I will go with my favorite, Macbeth.
Poem: I dont think there are better poems than the great poetic excerpts from the plays of Shakespeare: he was the greatest poet of all times. But if we are going to choose a single poem, then the Divine Comedy might be the best (I prefer Homer, but Dante's poem is more complex and inventive).

>Poem:

Leaves of Grass

Stop. I know what you're going to say and you're wrong.

>Play:

Shakespeare's best was Hamlet.

Aside from Shakespeare, it's probably a tie between Waiting for Godot and Death of a Salesman.

>Novel:

Don Quixote or In Search of Lost Time.
