...And Martha sticks her head out of Lurkers' Corner, nervously 
raises her hand and says:

Er... at Sussex University (Brighton, England), where I'm currently 
studying, science students have to take arts courses (according to my 
friend who studies physics, in order to stop them becoming science 
geeks, and to make them other sorts of geeks instead). ;-) Anyway, 
I'm extremely annoyed that as an *arts* psychology student, I didn't 
get to take "Fantasy in Literature and Film":

According to Esther McCallum-Stewart, at least, Harry Potter *does* 
count as literature, enough so that it's on the reading list for a 
University of Sussex school course. (I just checked, they read the 
books, but didn't go near the movie.)

Just my two knuts,

Martha (adjusting dirty pillowcase and carrying on with the sweeping, 
and grumbling to herself about how her own school course was really 
boring and how some of her favourite books are on the "Fantasy..." 
reading list)
