it was actually kinda bizarre reading that thread because she cited to a lot of "timeless" "classics" that are NOT part of the canon outside the US Like why do I GAF about Hawthorne's "judgmental Puritans" (judgmental! the worst thing a person can be!) or whatever TF Walden is

The "classics" I read in my forays into snobby elite education were almost all British -- an attempt to preserve a colonial "Mother England" mentality Or in less snobby schools, new-ish Canadian novels educators were trying to MAKE into classics (real "that is so fetch" energy)
