I have been thinking about genre theories and how useless I feel theory is to learning about literature. Sometimes I just want to talk about the books and not their catagories etc. I came upon an article by Jonathan Culler and he seemed to describe how I feel in a more eloquent way than I ever could. I especially like the first page of his writing. Maybe other people feel the same way?
