In The Shallows, the part about Dukies..

<p>"In a talk at a recent Phi Beta Kappa meeting, Duke University professor Katherine Hayles confessed, “I can’t get my students to read whole books anymore.” Hayles teaches English; the students she’s talking about are students of literature."</p>

<p>Lol.</p>

<p>I guess we can all LOL as much as we want, but Jeez Louise, is this really the best our “top” students can offer as scholars? This is really dismaying… (Though yes, the OP’s question is also kind of hilarious, and of course wildly ironic.)</p>
