Im in the same boat . Won ' t honor it , I guess newegg really needed that 25 bucks I would have received . <| sep |> Clintion Foundation shirts on black friday , all must go <| sep |> I was so aggravated by how wrong Kate is about Luke . Does she not know how tragic his story is ? Kate of all people should empathize about his sisters being kidnapped , and one of them becoming a vegetable after brain damage . I ' m starting to wonder if actually read that run , because of his new characterization of Luke . <| sep |> While fantasy is certainly CAPABLE of expressing deep themes , it rarely contains anything particularly worthy of study because it is primarily concerned with setting rather than discussing ideas . That ' s not a knock on fantasy , it ' s just the standards of speculative fiction . Also , with the exception of works like LOTR and the Hobbit , most modern fantasy which I assume is the fantasy genre you ' re referring to is very recent , so it ' s hard to say what sort of place it has in the literary world . So they ' re rarely very ' literary ', and they ' re rarely old enough or big enough for their influence to have been wildly felt in a way that makes them worth studying . I don ' t know why people put such a focus on having to like the books you study at school . No one asks to only study the areas of science that you find fun or interesting . You ' re there to learn how to read and think critically and apply literary theory . If you also love the book you study , that ' s great ! But it ' s not the main point .
