yeah, Romeo and Juliet was important and revolutionary FOUR-HUNDRED
FUCKING YEARS AGO. Plus, its a fucking play, same thing goes for The
Crucible, especially if you're reading it without any McCarthyist
background knowledge. Catcher in the Rye? Yeah, it was a great satire
of 1950s youth, BUT ITS THE TWENTY-FIRST FUCKING CENTURY. Holocaust
Novels? It sucks for Anne Frank, but her diary is not something you
read in English, do it in history for fuck's sake. Huck Finn/Tom Sawyer
were boring as shit.
The only novels I really liked through my
schooling were Alas, Babylon and The Great Gatsby (Only because of the
Jazz-Era setting) |
