Seriously, reading a book a week for a subject was standard in virtually every literature degree in the English-speaking world for decades. Either the students have gotten stupid (they haven't) or the education system is failing our communities (hint: it's the second one)

Last night I gave a lecture on La Jetee to a prison classroom and basically everyone in the class loved the movie. People who try to tell you that difficult or experimental art is only for educated nerds are wrong, that’s just shit that giant corporations want you to believe.
