man do i hate reading james fenimore cooper. i remember in college signing up for american literature, founding-1860 or something like that, and my girlfriend at the time was like MISTAKE! And I was like, "no, I've read so little from that time, I'll learn". Outside of the transcendentalists, it was a complete disaster. At least I can now go through a time machine and tell high school me that i was right and james cooper and nathaniel hawthorne both suck.
Fantastic!
I think we need more absolutely vicious, hilarious, withering attacks in the literary world. Everyone is too friendly with each other. Wouldn't it be nice to see a full-on feud between two playwrights? Who wouldn't want to read a series of angry open letters between, say, Adam Rapp and Itamar Moses?
