Well, I dutifully summarized the first 5 pages or so of "The Twentieth Century," then began my next paragraph with, "I can't stand to summarize any more of this part of the reading." Hopefully that won't do me too much harm. Lazo seems like a very reasonable guy, and I'm hoping he'll appreciate how completely mind-numbing the material is and not mind that I'd rather focus on the interesting bits. By which I mean, y'know, the actual writing we're studying in this class.

Oh, and a note to the editors of Norton's: if you're going to refer to Finnegans Wake as "a monumental dead end" and yet apparently consider it a great work of literature, would you at least do your reader the favor of explaining your reasoning? Generally "a monumental dead end" is not considered a compliment. Weirdos. Go die, Norton's editors.
