Re: [LM_NET] HUMOR...(reality?) of book reports

[JProctor <joproctor@COX.NET>]

I heard someone say once that this is the difference between teachers and 
librarians - teachers want you to analyze a book to death, librarians just 
want you to enjoy it.  It's the reason I disliked most literature classes - 
didn't mind the reading, hated the analyzing.  Sometimes a tree is just a 
tree.
