No I was being serious. I ought to be able to keep up and read a few hundred pages in a couple of weeks. If not then I should just shut up and quit complaining.
I read your post on the other stuff you're supposed to be reading and it seems like you've got a heavy load. One of my worst semesters in school was when I decided to take a literary foundations course (classics) and a Brit. Lit course. One book a week for each class. If I had the opportunity to do things over, I would definitely not do that again.
I would love to be able to take courses like that, but most of my reading is on top of class because my college doesn't handle double majors very well. No room for interesting courses. I've been reading part two this afternoon and unfortunately it's much, much weirder than part one. Fuck.
