[QUOTE="bospress.net, post: 12491, member: 152"] Hi Brendan, Our manifesto states that the operatives are to put these in specific books in bookstores (large and small) and libraries. I agree 100% that the college libraries are a great place to put these. The idea of putting them in books that the professors are requiring is a GREAT idea. The only catch is that they would have to be like-minded books. For example, if the professor is requiring a Hemingway, then YES, but if they are requiring The Odyssey, then that would probably be one that we would want to stay out of. The goal is to advance literature. To let them know that there is still GREAT literature being written and published today. It is to let them know that just because they hate the poetry that they are required to read, does not mean that they hate poetry. They just are not given great choices to read. If you could get a sylabusand send us a list of the books, trhen we could proceed from there. I imagine that there would be a great assortment of books that we could subvert! Thanks for your interest and ideas! Hi Brother Schenker, Fair enough, although it sounds like you are EXACTLY who we are targeting. Well read, love great writing, but hate poetry, until..... All best, Bill [/QUOTE]
