Now I Understand Why I Never Enjoyed Studying English In College


Inspiration from Will Self, on why he studied philosophy rather than English at Oxford:
"I have a pretty thorough grounding in the canon, but I certainly didn't want to be involved with criticism. Even then it seemed inimical to what it was to be a writer, which is what I really wanted to be."
Sounds about right.
