John Oliver's Literature Rodeo

[Alyssa71808]

This looks like someone just whipped out a handy cam in a library and forced him to do a skit XD But i lOVE him!

[pdaervo]

@adi87tya aaand you're quoting William Wordsworth ;)

It's like ignoring history, why go through the trouble of making mistakes when people have made them, learned from them, and written their revelations down? A book is someone's voice, preserved.

[Somemelodiousplot]

Great sketch... I really wish this was a youtube show.

[saintconnnor]

that other dudes voice sounds familiar, something with politic and daily show :P

Western literature at times even seems shallow.

[Eldanen]

Why?

[Jawadafg9]

I've noticed that Western literature is too personal, doesn't have good moral teachings, and has ambiguous messages. The main them that drives western literature is Expression, even if that kind of expression doesn't have a meaning or make any sense. I think you could say that Western literature doesn't do much to advance human knowledge about humanity or good moral behavior. Also western literature is too much image-driven. Sometimes it seems like an author circling around none-sense.

[jvbencze]

Often times they will challenge such preconceived notions such as "good moral behavior" or "good moral teachings." Popular books that preach "good moral behavior" tend to look upon such a challenge as blasphemous because it threatens the their very foundations.

[adi87tya]

why do you look to literature to give you moral lessons? morality is something you learn from life experience, not from a book....

[jewfizzle]

well, this certainly isn't an overly simplified generalization! thanks for your insight!

[nilbud]

@Jawadafg9 Stupid conclusion, try harder.

There's nothing funnier than the end of the world, except maybe the years of misery and deprivation preceding it.
