John Walker on [Peter Thorpe]'s Why Literature Is Bad for You ISBN:0-88229-745-7 about why the Liberal Arts are bad for you. Here's a book written by a professor of English Literature who argues that immersion in the humanities manufactures such people, wrecking the minds and often the lives of those who would have otherwise made well-balanced and successful accountants, scientists, physicians, engineers, or members of other productive professions.
