Somewhat, but it's also just a chemical thing that happens between certain people when they spend enough time together.

I guess it's only confusing when there's tension.

Thank you. I am not very popular among the English peeps on here. I'm glad a science person can come along and be objective

I just find that sometimes, as an attractive ____ , I get into situations where professors are very friendly and solicitous and the conversation often turns personal very quickly, and I've shared a lot of coffees and glasses of wine with profs, often on their tab at their insistance. And it seems like no one else has these weird confusing relationships, or has even heard of them happening. Yet again, in this I am ronery and sadry arone.

Did I miss the memo about the meaning of "troll"? Or is any discussion topic that's not about the font size of your writing sample suddenly trolling?

PSA:

As someone has already pointed out -- please, don't feed the trolls. It's for our own good.

Or, perhaps put another way with this one: don't take the bait! (Come on people, you're smarter than engaging in this.)

I'm currently an undergraduate sophomore studying English. I'm definitely interested in pursuing a PhD in English—my interests right now are the realist novel and American lit 1918-1939.

Although I've read a decent amount of theory, I'm looking for lit crit/theory texts that are must reads if I'm preparing for an advanced degree in English.

Also, any suggestions as to productive summer activities? I'll be doing an internship around 15 hours a week, so I'll have time to spare.

Thanks for the help.
