Ugh. Gag me with a spoon, all over my English major.

That is just… disturbing.
….. I have no words.
That’s hilarious. If I wasn’t an honest and upright person, I’d be tempted to go graffiti half the books in the local library with which fictional characters might have liked them.
“Coarse Fishing”, by J R Hartley AS RECOMMENDED BY SHERLOCK HOLMES AND DUMBO
Heights, that blow with a dull roaring sound. With the image of a rose…
It’s a form of whither…which is a form of old-English used to ask a destination…
And THAT’s a homonym of wither, so maybe it’s an extremely convoluted, multi-stage play on words.
Ugh. Never did like that book. Only the last chapter saved it from being a complete waste of time. However, I’m a big fan of her sister Charlotte’s book, Jane Eyre.
Bleh. I hear you. I’m an English major too finishing up this semester, so I get to take Critical Approaches to Literary Analysis. The book is a 2500 page beast of boredom.
I somehow escaped Wuthering Heights though. Although, I believe that was published during the Romantic period so maybe I’ll wind up liking it. I tend to be a fan of the literary works of what I *believe* were here peers, like Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Myself, we’re working through Chaucer’s the Canterbury Tales in my lit class. Middle English is probably the worst dialect I’ve ever had to push through.
Sod the spoon, give me a spatula. Death will be quicker.
And adults everywhere shuddered and lamented.
(Representing for the English Lit grads!)
Blast it, Spinks! Now you have me brainstorming all sorts of subversive stickers.
…this is fun.
Ohhh, if only I’d known that two fictional characters love this book, I would have appreciated it on a wholly different level.
* sighs and shakes his head *
That’s pathetic.
Hey if it gets people to read it cant be all bad. I throw up in my mouth a little every time I hear someone say something about twilight though.
So apparently I missed it. Thought it was about a terrible, terrible title for a book.
Not up on my classic literature I guess.
Ahhhh, lightbulb. The “people” who like this are from the Twilight series. Your contempt is well placed then.
I guess the title makes more sense considering the era it comes from (now that I’ve actually looked it up).
This makes me want to never create anything ever, for fear that a hundred years from now it will be endorsed by an imaginary couple popular with preteen girls.
I can see it now: “Bella and Edward’s favorite peer-reviewed scientific paper”
What’s next? Bella & Edward’s favorite cereal?
“My teenage daughter never sat down with us for breakfast until I bought home a box of Count Chocula. Now she sits down with us…but just stares lovingly at the box. I guess it’s a start.”
