/lit/ - Literature

i've studied literature at princeton for two years and not a single one of my teachers has read the bible front to back.

also, there does not exist one piece of "good" literature that depends on biblical or historical allusions for a full comprehension of the story. the point of a book is the book itself and what it is trying to show you.

it's like saying you can't appreciate the sistine chapel because you don't know the names of the apostles.
