Actually, listing Plato as one of his favorite authors puzzles me far more than Marx or Hitler. That's just me, though. I have met others that list Meno as one of their favorite books and they're all slightly nutty and take Plato's argument that we already know everything and just have to remember it too seriously. (In that story, Socrates helps an illiterate slave learn geometry not by teaching him, but by jogging his memory a bit.)
Probably jut the random Plato stand-in. People, I don't want to break your minds here, but I serriously doubt the guy ever read more than half of the stuff on his Myspace, just trying to appear 'deep' IMHO.
