“Listen, here’s the thing about an English degree — if you sat somebody down and asked them to make a list of the writers they admire over the last hundred years, see how many of them got a degree in English.”
Awesome.
Will have to plunk down the dinero for this book.
Only one I can think of... John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (and he was more of a linguist, anyway, thought his degree was in English Language and Literature)...
