I respect that. Don't neglect to read the book again, though, lest I be mad as hell.<br /><br />The only justification for allowing bullshit-happy colleagues into your life is the determination to do otherwise.

None or very few of us have read the books under analysis in the presented thesis, but we all make educated guesses on what may or may not be fruitful approaches and topics to delve deeper into? Some of the first-year MA students expressed early on after the WiP-seminars that they were impressed how we all sounded so well-read and knowledgeable. And then you have the professors, who may have even read the book in question once a long time ago, but remember very little, and hide this fact by throwing out another reference nobody are likely to have read, like namedropping another critic or a work by an other author distantly related to the current topic.Jonashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225729719275912210noreply@blogger.com
