I love the Kinks, especially Autumn Almanac and Dead end Street. Screw Wordsworth and Colleridge, Mr. Davies is where it's at.
Speaking of Wordsworth... I am SO tired of hearing about him in every class I take. Yes, I realize as an English major that I need to be well versed in his works and those of his contemporaries, but can't we modernize things a little bit? Wordsworth and John Milton are killing me.
How about some Dylan Thomas and James Joyce? What about those awesome Russians Chekov, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky? Samuel Beckett anyone? I won't even ask about the Beat writers because I know that would be too good to be true. Come on Kean, get it together.
