Other journo major again, that wasn't me. I'm fairly certain a double major would require at least two or three sessions of summer classes. I'm just going out for the minor and hoping to amass enough extracurricular activity for grad school (for English, fuck journalism).

If you could pick one writer whose entire work you could somehow consign to oblivion without leaving so much as a residue of a trace of its existence who would you pick?

In my estimation Herta Müller, Gary Shteyngart, Henry Miller, David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Lethem, Bret Easton Ellis, Dave Eggers, Cormac McCarthy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Miranda July, Jonathan Franzen, and Jennifer Egan are worthy of this particular distinction. But no one single writer deserves it far more in my estimation than Jane Austen. Her body of work is bad enough, but even worse is the whole cult she has inspired, which seems to fit very well with the worst of today's pop culture.

To quote some thread I read here awhile back: "And into the garbage it goes."

Pic unrelated.

What is /lit/'s take on drugs like LSD, for example?
