The Norton Anthology of American Literature

1. Noun: A gigantic book used by evil schools that force innocent high school kids to the death by the 2,930 pages of extremely small print, extremely long paragraphs, and extremely boring entries from authors ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Anne Sexton (who ever the hell they are). Can also be called satan or the devil.

Phil: Shit dude, I have to read Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Alex: What the hell is that?
Phil: Some bullshit Romantic story in the Norton Anthology of American Literature.
Alex: Whats that?
Phil: Oh, its just Satan's brother.
