You act like there is money in talking about lit.
It's more like we'd be sitting in the courtyard of a university with one person playing a guitar and the other ranting about an academic journal that bastardizes the text with a new theory.
I've... actually done this. Well, there wasn't a guitar.
This is done often with my lit Prof. or there are 9 of us crammed in his office with him and the other prof that share it and he is usually going on a lit tirade, talking about a poet he just interviewed or ranting about how students *** about having grammar errors and as him to be slack, to which he says when they get a Masters degree from the best writing school in the nation(Iowa apparently) then they can ask him to be lenient.
