I messed up /lit/

>first day of Literature Studies 1030
>teacher asks what our favorite books of all time are
>lot of ASOIAF and Harry Potters
>jokingly say Alex Insomnia's Orgy of the Will in a serious tone (haven't even read most of it)
>fellow students laugh "HUEHUEHUE ORGY"
>Professor: "hmmm, I've never heard of that one"
>now have to write an essay defending Orgy of the Will as literally the greatest book of all time

Help /lit/? How do I spin this without getting the communist professor to hate me and give me an F? I can't really say that I like it ironically because it is a 5-7 page essay.

If this is a first year class there are probably lots of people in your class, the professor has already forgotten you. Just write it on your real favorite book.

>Alex Insomnia
Geez, his name is Alex KIERKEGAARD, because he's a combination of Alexander the Great and Kierkegaard. Insomnia is his website. Get it right, anon.
>How do I spin this without getting the communist professor to hate me and give me an F?
Just quote Alex and praise him profusely:
>The argument between socialism and capitalism comes down to this: to those who, when left to their own devices, naturally rise above the mean, and to those who fall below. The former will be proponents of capitalism, the latter of socialism. The former are talented and hard-working, the latter talentless and lazy. And all this is proved by the failure of socialism, and in particular that of communism: its ultimate manifestation — as if a group of habitual losers at the individual level would be able to create, by pooling together all their weaknesses and failures, a winning combination!
Then subtly hint that the professor is a subhuman piece of shit.
