Re: Sequels (was Re: Universitatlity)

I've found that the "what's not crap and what isn't" discussions tend to
wind up going around in circles. Mainly because, of course, we can
never satisfactorily answer the question, "crap for what purposes?"
There's a lot out there with little merit (by many standards of
judgment) that's high in entertainment value. Other works tend to
create their own standards of judgment...we need to learn to read
differently to appreciate them, to change our expectations. Others ask
questions we hand't considered before, so if we used to looking for
certain types of questions and certain types of answers...we're going to
be disappointed.

PS How did the reading go, Cecilia? I hope you didn't get snowed out.
