Pity the poor English Lit majors

Random quote of the day:  

 

“I don’t believe any of you have ever read Paradise Lost, and you don’t want to. That’s something that you just want to take on trust. It’s a classic…something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.” —Mark Twain, speech, “The Disappearance of Literature,” November 20, 1900

 

(Having been forced to read it for my major, I have to agree with Twain.  I know that makes me shallow, but I can live with that.)
