Well, first we'll need to define literature.

What qualifications must a text meet to be considered literature?

I think of them more as performance art, in the tradition of J. Dressner but with a different artistic sensibility.

Totally unrelated, but Cole, pretty sure I spotted you picking up some delectable cheeses at Righteous Cheese in Union Market on Saturday morning. I would have stopped to say hello, but there was a baby in tow and we were racing to get home before naptime. What did you end up buying and should I return for some myself?

Hey Michael we were meat shopping (I love the stuff I get from Harvey's, this time for a pot au feu) and decided to also get some cheese. They gave us three very nice cheeses, a lovely Stilton, some sort of ash soft goat cheese and a really good Washington State cheddar. Highly recommended.

Or as Jeff Connell might point out, a Pierre Menard for our times.

Kirk Wallace is the best, in case anyone had any doubts.
