Terry writes fantasy books, doesn't he? Depends on what you define a "good" thinker as. Some people thought that Hitler was a lovely person, some (many) don't. It all comes down to how your brain works, you may want Plato up there, or you may not. Some people dislike him. It's what you believe, and Conrad picked the 10 most suitable people in his mind. Excluding Saint Augustine. He knows he should be number 1. NUMBER 1.
