who is the shinji of high brow literature?

When I was a kid, I thought that people from the 16th century all spoke like Shakespeare’s characters, and that they must have all been super-intelligent.

I hate college

I just hate it man. Walker Percy was right, they just murder and dissect. There's no thought in it, no creativity. What do I do anons?

My second level literature and philosophy course is having students read Beyond Good and Evil without reading Kant, Schopenhauer, or Hegel. It's like they're trying to breed pseuds.

I really hope this girl wasn’t being abused

Just found out I got rejected from Cambridge for studying English Lit. It's by far my biggest passion, and I was so dedicated to making the cut: I thought my interview went really well (as far as I could tell) and this has left me super bummed out, especially as how myself, my teachers, my peers, etc. were so sure I'd make the uni. Also pissed off because some dumb cunt made it to Oxford on the same course, despite having half (if that) of the experience and passion for the subject as I do. I guess it's just another in the long line of dissapointments that has been following me recently...

What's the Neon Genesis Evangelion of literature?
