we don't enjoy classic movies from film's early period, what makes English departments think we would enjoy or care about books from the beginning of literature's history?

how myopic can they be...
"progress" learn about it, the worst fiction today makes the stuff from the 1800s look like a child's drivel

>>	Anonymous Thu, May 24, 2012 21:08:34 No.2664500 >>2664475 >we don't enjoy classic movies or books that is his point I think, which makes the whole studying aspect seem trivial since literally no one enjoys those books or cares about their analysis

>>	Anonymous Thu, May 24, 2012 21:16:34 No.2664529 That's quite an incorrect assumption, sir. But studying the classics gives you a greater understanding of the medium and its modern state.

>>	Anonymous Thu, May 24, 2012 21:19:35 No.2664540 Haha! what a right dull chap you are! You remind me of those idiots who give Dickens books 1 star reviews on Amazon and begin the review with "I had to read this for my English class".

I've read dickens, tale of two cities, for my own pleasure.

It was terrible.
Although I admit he can create some wonderful prose. But it wasn't enough to save his terrible story with extremely dull and over sentimental characters.

I would give it 2 stars, the prose was nice, here and there...kind of like Moby Dick. A failure as a book, but some parts were well-written.
