I was assigned this book in my highschool’s European history class, and the very next semester my English class let us vote on whether to read P&P or Wuthering Heights. I think I was the only person to vote for the latter, so I decided to download a copy from Gutenberg and read that at home. I concluded that despite…

Even supposedly legitimate areas of medical science can turn out to be without foundation:

I’ll steer clear of The Smell of Everything.

Everyone is too terrified of his iron fist to do a parody.

They set her up to have a hometown near Omaha for a reason, I assume.

“the norm for most of human history”
I would think extended families were the norm. And the low rates of fertility in the first-world now are definitely not the norm.

“The story begins a successful”
I’m guessing “a” should be “as”.
