Reading Isn't Complicated, it just seems that way.

"When universities made literature part of their curriculum, they had to turn it into something very serious and professional in order to justify its inclusion.

In other words, they created an “expertise” of reading; they cornered the market in “understanding” literature, and they made reading seem very complicated."
