/lit/ will apply for collective professorship and be granted acceptance with certain conditions, the primary one being that we must be very poetic but baffling in our assessments. In just ten years time, our first work titled

not similar at all but better in many ways

james woods is a very limited critic though. he can't take bloom's place because he can't deal with the entire canon. he's limited pretty much to novels of a certain type
