McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Dudes! Did You See the Library They've Got Here?
september 2009 by bkerr
Yeah, I've done a little studying over the summer, trying to get a base for hitting the big time this semester. My dad's got a couple of shelves of classics in the basement. Nothing real hard—a little Dickens, a little Frost. Some Emily Dickinson. Chick was fucking messed up, dudes. But she could scan like shit. "Because I could not stop for Death, / He kindly stopped for me." Yeah, I think I'm going to try and really hit the ground running. Start with some Shakespeare sonnets, maybe work my way up to memorizing "Howl" by fall break. I think I could totally do it, if I really just put in the time, went to the library every day and hit the books.
