Read the book. If you think about something else stop thinking about that thing and read the book.

Hope that helps

He sets several major events in Gravity's Rainbow at a place called Cuxhaven with the intent of making a pun, so pretty much.

If you go by the feminist definition of rape, just existing as a fucking white male is proof that he's a rapist.

What are your thoughts on this lit? Did anyone love it or hate it, and if so why? I'm in the process of reading it right now and while I think that there is a lot of interesting content it is presented in a very unengaging way.

Could you elaborate as to why you think it's shit and why I should read Emerson instead?

Things started tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down for Brazil after the first coup of many in its history.
P.S. I'm not of the opinion that the present impeachment procedure is a coup, more like just shoddy law interpretation mixed in with political opportunism, but not at all illegal.

Sorry to ask for advice here on /lit/ but I've got nowhere else to turn, so please hear out my desperate plea for advice. Should I major in English or Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature? I'm really not sure, both seem interesting. I think I'd like to go into publishing or be a librarian or something. Maybe an English teacher in some rural small town where the living is cheap and I can keep to myself.

My worries concerning the English major are that it won't delve deeply enough into the nature of literature and that a lot of the people in that major will be very uninteresting and will talk about the same things I talked about in high school (not trying to sound smart I just went to a very literature oriented high school). My concerns with Cultural Studies and Comparative Lit are that it won't focus enough on the literature itself and I'll be talking a lot about theory and culture while not doing as much actual literary studies. As with anyone who loves literature a small part of me wants to write as well but that's really a side note. They seem like very similar majors which is why it's somewhat hard for me to choose. Thanks for replying if anyone does. I don't know what I'm talking about I'm just a dumb kid (18 tho no ban pls).

P.S. I know many will say this is a waste of time majoring in something that won't really help me in life but I don't really care about lifestyle or money or anything like that, I just want to learn more about things I care about. I feel like I'll either be happy in life or I won't and that a decision like this won't change anything.

well it depends on the school

but cultural studies and comp literature will almost guaranteed focus more on society/theory as opposed to english, which will focus more on literature.

if you're willing to say what school could maybe help you but as is no idea

University of Minnesota Twin Cities.

Not the best school in the world but it's what I can afford.

https://onestop2.umn.edu/pcas/viewCatalogProgram.do?programID=109

you can see the course lists

cultural studies looks like a blend of new media stuff and theory, without much of an emphasis on literature

English is more of the traditional stuff

pick what sounds more appealing to you. be warned the cultural studies major courses looks like it attracts SJWs and people who dont read but say they "read"

>Following his earlier experiments with rats, in 1972 Calhoun would later create his "Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice": a 101-inch square cage for mice with food and water replenished to support any increase in population,[9] which took his experimental approach to its limits. In his most famous experiment in the series, "Universe 25", population peaked at 2,200 mice and thereafter exhibited a variety of abnormal, often destructive behaviors. By the 600th day, the population was on its way to extinction.[7]
