T.S. Eliot

Anyone read any of his poetry? I hardly read any poetry and know nothing about writing it, but I randomly started reading some of his poetry. Even better than reading it, though, is listening to it. I was listening to NPR a month or so ago and heard him reading some poem (don't know which one; at the time I didn't even know it was him) and then today I found some recordings on the internet. The way he reads seems weird to me, but for some reason I like it
Oh yeah, if anyone else wants to listen:

I'm not a huge fan of his poetry as well...but his prose is really well written, and insightful - essays about the poetic process and other "important" topics.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
