hey fabby tell us how bad it is to be enslaved by the straight man again...

>In Britain, where national cultural identity seemed linked to monuments of high culture – Shakespeare and the tradition of English literature, for example – the very fact of studying popular culture was an act of resistance, in a way that it isn’t in the United States, where national identity has often been defined against high culture. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, the work which does as much as any other to define Americanness, ends with Huck Finn lighting out for ‘the territories’ because Aunt Sally wants to ‘sivilize’ him. His identity depends on
escaping civilized culture.

>Traditionally the American is the man on the run from culture. When cultural studies denigrates literature as elitist, this is hard to distinguish from a long national tradition of bourgeois philistinism. In the United States shunning high culture and studying popular culture is not a politically radical or resistant gesture so much as a rendering academic of mass culture.

You might be right. In any case, the RF is correcting the figures.

Mfw people still regularly visit Lenin's preserved body, and it's still one of the hottest tourist spots in Moscow.

yeah because at least when someone sees a philo degree they can go 'hmm, seems this guy can obfuscate-to-the-max!' but with an english degree all it really says about you is 'i've learned skills to 'appreciate' books properly in high school & since then applied those same skills to over9000 books'.

I guess the later would be helpful if you do some kind of repetitive though initially hard job.

>My sister is 17
>she doesn't go out drinking all the time but she spends a lot of time with friends
>So she's not a typical slut and she's not a geek
lol she's probably out fucking when you think she's with friends.

Anyway, get her something accessible but that really makes you think & want to read other stuff.

For an almost adult woman i'd specifically recommend Ada by Nabokov. Great book even if you're a guy.

Anyway, I wish I could read that fast. I can only do 2-300 pages a day, anymore and I just feel mentally drained.
