I'm just about to finish Thomas More's "Utopia." I greatly enjoy dystopian literature, and have wanted for a long time to read the "grandfather" of this genre.

I have to say that it's pretty dry, but I've enjoyed it overall, and would welcome any others to read & discuss it.

Anyway, I'm somewhat intrigued by More's coining of terms for the magistrates, priests, etc. I know he borrows heavily from Greek, and the origin of U- (a pun on "eu," meaning "well or good" and "no place") and -topos ("place"). But I've Googled some of the other terms, and come up with nothing, except the occasional blogger who's obviously read & admired "Utopia," and uses one of these terms as a screen name.

Anyway, at some point, I hope to see in this Forum that someone else has read it, and we can have a meaningful discussion of it! Thanks!
