I don't know about for an MFA but the most enlightening parts of my humanities education came from listening to professors extemporaneously meander through their subjects of fascination.

I honestly feel like I robbed them blind without them even realizing it.

The books were supplementary. However the constant essay writing didn't hurt.

Blindness isn't really worth reading; the premise sounds really interesting and it could be, in the right hands. Hoesay just can't really do much with it. White Teeth is worth reading for sure, especially if you are an anglophile. I wouldn't read anything else by her though.

Ghost World is very good too, much better than the movie--darker and more awkward, though the movie isn't bad by any means.

Is The Secret History by D. Tart any good? I'm weary of her given her celebrity and the rep her books have for pretending to higher brow than they perhaps have. I hear the secret history is good despite all that though.
