Compare them to a summer's day... Except blow it up, tell them they are more lovely, and more temperate. Never been done before, 200% chance to get you laid. You're welcome.

I intend on reading one more novella today to catch up with my usual 2 books per week rate.
The Maimed, The Setting Sun or The Thief's Journal?

King is overrated trash who keeps using the same tropes over and over again.

I'm currently starting him via The Order of Things. Feels like a terrible mistake. Maybe Discipline and Punish?

Is anyone here an English literature or creative writing major or something relatively related?
I am currently in university (going into my third year shortly) and I am strongly thinking about switching my major to English lit or creative writing. I am planning to apply to law school as well as medical school but if I don't get in there is not much I can do with those degrees. I love to write but would I get published? Probably not.
What do you guys plan to do with your /lit/ tier degree?

English literature major here. Fourth year.
What am I planning to do? Get my MA degree as soon as I can and then teach some kids and earn enough not to die. That's pretty much the only thing I am capable of right now.
