Eh, not the best. Some pretty interesting essays, which I can ser myself use for my thesis, but I also wasted time reading essays that have no use in the literary analysis and discussion that I'll be making. Not a book about literature or literary theory, but a pretty interesting (and old!) collection of thoughts about the planet and our environment.
