Finally, a RL post! Imagine that!

Oh man, I've been so terrible about RL stuff. So here's the cliffsnotes on that, which I'm going to put under a cut because it got really long since it's been a long time. ^_^;;;

Oh god, it's the Norton Anthology, isn't it. One of my classmates used to joke about ending the semester with a ritual burning of it *g* and I apologize in advance for the rambling, but you're talking about my precious youth here

I must confess that I spent the first 25 years of my life thinking that poetry was pretentious and boring. These days, there's nothing I love more than picking poems apart and marveling at how they're clever. But I do remember haaaaating the English romantics, which I never understood because I have found that the German ones were singularly amazing and not at all dull.

I can actually see omitting Shelley and Doyle, since IIRC neither is considered to have been literary influences the way Austen and Wilde were even if they pretty much invented their respective genres. And Wilde was pretty much just that one play and that one novel and a lot of scandal.

Of course it's the Norton Anthology. XD The books for six of my English classes in college have been some form of Norton Anthology. The life of an English major. *cries* (That being said, burning it sounds like a fabulous idea, only it would probably burn to ash in all of 0.02 seconds and not be as emotionally satisfying as I would like. XD
