Have I been good to you? Want to reciprocate?

I want to say, to the perhaps two of you who check this blog, that I am kind of dreading this week and next because I think it has become fashionable and legendary to hate Heart of Darkness. I don't know who started it many years ago, but I do know that everyone thinks it's the "in thing" to hate it. I would like, VERY MUCH, for you to open your minds and ignore your biases against it and give it a fair shot. It is a dense book, but very short. There are complex themes, but big ideas that generate great discussion. It is dark (hence the title), but chock full of imagery. JUST GIVE IT A TRY. OK?
