>when literature -- culture, really: music, art, film and anime -- just keeps getting better the more you engage with it

>when each experience rubs some form of wisdom on you and you have a larger accumulation of context with which to engage every following experience

anyone else get these feels?

What does academic study of literature actually do?

Does it help elevate the feeling of the sublime you get when you read something amazing, something that makes you go "damn..." when you've finished the last line?

Or is it just a bunch of theorizing, historicizing, this-book-is-actually-a-political-object stuff? (Not that this is necessarily inherently bad, of course)

Or are these complementary?
