The whole set or just Freud? I'll I remember about him from highschool was that he talked about dicks a lot.

Yes, you'll be well read - but the question is, will you be able to understand each text's importance in the endless dialogue of Western culture, how it was born from those preceding it and how it impacted those following?

This post casts a faint shodow of doubt over the whole thing.

Not the guy being (You)'d but yes, only Freud. Maybe Marx and Engels if you get in the pyromaniac mood.
If you burn Shakespeare or Melville or Dosto, I'll break your fucking Xbox.
If those volumes are as comprehensive as I hope they are, you'll be patrician on a whole 'nother level if you read them in numerological order.
