Qohelet is one of the best ones, along with _Shir Hasshirim_ (gosh, I know
the Hebrew names and not the English ones!). My teacher of Italian wanted me
to do a  research on the Ecclesiastes a couple of years ago (I don't
remember why, probably it was connected to some poet we were studying - or
probably because of his personal 'weakness': if you were able to find any
connection between a Biblical argument and the text we were reading, you
were sure you'd have a good mark!), and I presented it to the class.
