On the contrary, it's actually just enough reading

Third week of the semester and I'm thoroughly sick of hearing complaints about "too much reading." According to (some of) my students, anything more than a page and a half is just too LONG, and anything written more than five minutes ago is just too HARD, and anything requiring complex reasoning is just too BORING.

I'm already tired of fighting their complaints and defending my reading list, so I've decided to give up: You're right, it's too long, too hard, and too boring, but you still have to read it, so quit griping and get to work.

Yes: I'm just too MEAN!
