Careful there, Lalwendë, there be thin ice in them thar parts. That kind of talk sounds suspiciously like one of...the
Literati!! 
Come on, 'fess up -- you're a secret teacher of English Literature somewhere, right? Someone who considers
A Farewell To Arms a bit of light reading for a rainy afternoon? Who thinks
War and Peace wasn't long enough? We've got your number now! Heat the tar! Pluck the chickens!
EDIT: Australia? New Zealand? There are more people in TEXAS.
