The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken. ~~ The Odyssey, Homer
"one of those books that everyone seems to love but i" or "one of those books that everyone but i seems to love"? both, i think, are technically right, but the latter runs into the problem of the verb jarring because it disagrees with the proximal pronoun. shaun asserts that the latter syntax is more correct, but it seems yukky to me. i don't know.
