Wow, that's even cooler than the Philosophy course dedicated entirely to Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I had read about a few years ago! God, I should have gone to University, it sounds so much more interesting than college.

Anyway. I really should re-read Huck Finn now that I'm an adult. I was in 5th grade when I read it, and I don't think I really was in any position to "get" the novel.
