Last term I was waiting for a lit class to start and overheard a couple of girls discussing a recent bestseller promoted by Starbucks. One said, "What I want to know is where the kids in the orphanage got all that pot..." Not long after, I saw this quote: "Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher." (Flannery O'Connor) I couldn't agree more!
