The Week in Lit 11-30-07

We read a poem entitled The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot. You have to read this thing like 300 times to really understand it. I understand it is a very influential poem. However, it also a very stress inducing poem. God bless those who can interpret the poem with ease. I would say of all the readings we have done so far The Waste Land was my least favorite. However, I can at least say i have read it. After all, as i mentioned, the poem is considered one the most influential poems of all time. I think everybody should have to read it at least once. Oh and have some Tylenol or Ibuprofen on hand when you do. Just kidding.
