Right.
So you assume that I consider most books I read from the last 30 years as seminal and worthy of cultural preservation, amirite?

I have read many, many, many books from the last 30 years and there are very very few which I consider to be culturally important.

American Psycho is one of them, Lilac & Flag is another, as is Atomised. I stand by that statement, and I'm backed up on that by a very wide range of academics.

Alright?

Yup.
He's alright actually, just very, very sure he's right about stuff, which would be OK if it was true more often.

Actually, the Scottish educational system is, and always has been, better than the English one.
More successful and a broader curriculum.

And this is 100% not jingoistic, patriotic claptrap. That sort of shit winds me up as much as men that wear ties with short sleeved shirts.

So was it actually and eng. lit. degree, I gots half of one of those.

I did Standard Grades and then moved down here and did A Levels.
The boarding house at my school had closed so I had to move school.

And yeah, an English degree. You can tell, because I used the words 'jingoistic' and 'claptrap'.
