I would properly rename it: A convenient way to pin the blame on the person you wanted to be with but don't love that much to defend, since happenstance, and circumstance aren't convenient, then decide it's too fucking risky taking responsibility, showing how much integrity the person has and that equals an automatic tragedy. The book of how I should have not let the woman of another man drive my damned car.

Not one of you could come up with a convincing argument for why this book is bad. No one is impressed that you think a widely read American classic is "shit". Quit pretending to have discerning taste.

Why do you think the book is good?

Why ask him that? It's a critically acclaimed book, you could find much better reasons from critics and thinkers than from some guy on 4chan. Unless you're just hoping he presents some weak argument that you can easily beat.

Why do you take offense at someone being interested in their fellow /lit/izen's opinion? This is a discussion board, if you weren't aware. If I wanted Bloom's opinion I'd go read Bloom. But I'm here, so I don't.

not him, and you were correct in your assumption, but why did you assume that one hasn't read criticism already?
do you not want to discuss a piece?
