Former English majors Cathleen Brumback and Christian Lutes reintroduce their audience to all those “classics” you never actually read in your high school English class. Sparknotes and Wikipedia saved us all back in the day and it’s time to #getLit and relive the experience. We play fun drinking games, aggressively throw out a pop quiz, and question why most of us were only exposed to the Literature written by old dead white dudes.
