This Semester in English

As an English major, I read a lot of books for classes each semester. Since I'll be taking two traditional English classes this semester and I'm attending my first in a few hours, I thought I'd share what I'll be reading.

For Intro. to Literature:

  1. The Stories of Richard Bausch
    I have no opinion on this one. 


  2. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    This one's been on the my reading list for a while,
    so I'm happy to have incentive to read it.
  3. Lyric poems by Keats
    Keats and I aren't friends, nor are poetry and I,
    so I am actually dreading this one.

  4. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
    I love studying recently published books in classes,
    so this one should be fun!

  5. The Goblin Market by Christina Rosetti
    I know nothing about this, but the titles is legit.

  6. The Tempest by Shakespeare
    I love love love Shakespeare, and my professor
    is a scholar, so I cannot wait!

  7. The Importance of being Ernest by Oscar Wilde
    Loved the movie, so lets do this!

For Literary Theory and Criticism:
  1. The Stories of Richard Bausch
    Still no opinion. 
  2. The Awakening by Kate Chopin
    I'm kind of excited for this one. I saw this list awhile
    ago and planned to start it on my 20th birthday,
    but I don't mind starting early.
  3. Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism
    This looks like a text book. Meh.
  4. Cane by Jean Toomer
    American Southern lit, not my fave,
    but I have decently high hopes.
What are you most excited to read in class this semester? What classes are you taking? What do your next 5 months look like?
