I've got a literature degree in addition to my law degree, and I'd never tell people to stop reading the canon. I would tell them to examine it for what it is, and also to read outside of the canon to hear the voices that they don't normally hear.

Child abusers, though, they can just go.
I wasn't praising or trying to promote the "problematic work". I was posting a cropped picture of a page in order to show the lack of ligatures in a print book. The whole MZB thing would have never been brought up if DNSB hadn't recognized a few sentences and mentioned it.
