Apparently I've been brainwashed by my english teacher?
I hate people who can't enjoy good, classic literature.
I just, seriously, had a conversation with a guy who didn't like Shakespeare just because he killed off his characters and didn't like how that at the very beginning of the play told you how it would end. He also thought that guys reading books listing as targeted towards females automatically made them gay, but girls reading a guys book was okay. He also doesn't get the concept authors discretion, and says that if an author who's writing a -seemingly- reality set book says the sky is purple (which they may because it is their story, unless they out and out say that it takes place in the real world) then they are wrong. He also thinks the theme of Romeo and Juliet was "love conquers all", which is funny because in that play love conquered nothing really. He also thinks that books with just talk are boring. He also couldn't believe that everyone in our class actually liked Romeo and Juliet, so OBVIOUSLY we -must- be brainwashed.
I hate stupid snobs like him, and this did NOT make my day ANY better.
I'm now off to watch part 3 of the Pride and Prejudice BBC mini series. Based on a book that's NOTHING BUT, how did he put it? "talk talk talk"
