Literature: As Good as it Gets

I believe I have one of the best, most rewarding jobs in the world, especially as it includes reading literature and then talking about it. And I'm not the only one who feels this way. Check out what this guy, Terry Eagleton (a well-respected critic of literature and literary studies), has to say. I hope you either do or will learn to feel this way as well.

This is a long lecture with a full introduction, but what I really like is at 4:20 mins.
