The waste land

At work, I was dutifully reading my Waste Land texts, all the explanations (because I needed them). I have always LOVED Prufrock but I guess I never bothered to pick up anything else by Eliot and was rather unprepared for the complexity of Waste Land. So one of my co-workers looked over my shoulder, the cook, and said "What's that? Waste Land? That's why I dropped out of high school! How're you doing with it?"
Well at least it's not just me that doesn't get it! I'm quite frustrated.
