This is so true, Leah. Funny story - I was in my "Advanced" creative writing class last semester and my professor went off on a tangent ranting about how damaging Stephen King's "On Writing" was. She spent 15 minutes calling it "unintelligent drivel" and saying everything he's ever written was "pure trash." And when a classmate piped up to say argue that his books were still popular regardless, my professor shut him down by saying "Popularity doesn't count. Awards count. And Stephen King hasn't won any awards because he's a horrible writer." And I, as an ardent Stephen King fan, remained quiet through this because I was so deeply insulted by this pompous display of elitist bullshit. How can you possibly shame someone so fervently for their taste in books? And the crazy part? I'd bought "On Writing" just the week before. So, of course, I brought it to the next class and kept it on my desk, just to piss her off haha.

Thanks so much - travel really is the best!

I completely agree with your train of thought regarding the finale. I like to think that the show wouldn't be so obvious, but I also have that nagging feeling that the obvious thing is what they're going to spring on us, knowing we won't expect it. These writers are tricky - that's why the show's been so interesting!
IN PRAISE OF MAD MEN
Some Thoughts, Speculation, and Conjecture on the End of an Era By Sam Perwin Inspired by a conversation I had over the weekend about the imminent ending of AMC's Mad Men and by Sunday night's brilliant episode, I've decided to catalogue some thoughts about the end of the series now, rather than...
