I've been doing a full semester project on sociology this year so I didn't read much fiction literature for class, but I am currently reading Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf so I wondered if I should start a thread specifically on that book or just Virginia Woolf in general. Would anyone be interested in posting there?*hintcoughethelfledapoke*

Umm.. earlier I've read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, Dubliners by James Joyce and The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald for English Literature.

I want to read To Kill a Mockingbird over summer... is it sad?

Yes, but it is also very good. I read that in eighth grade for school.

Over the summer I'm reading Obasan for a school project, by Joy Kogowa. Anyone ever heard of it?

I'll be doing the most wonderful series on earth! LotR! I'm doing a course on Tolkien and Lewis. For Tolkien I have to read The Hobbit, FotR, TTT, & RotK. I have no idea what I'm reading for Lewis... but it won't be CoN!

Eheheheheheheh. I have studied WAY too many books in school for me to actually sit here and type out...=P I enjoyed most of them, except Romeo and Juliet. =)

This year, I studied:

Nine Stories, by J.D. Salinger
The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James (I think that's his name...)
The Red Badge of Courage, by Stephen Crane
Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
Several short stories by Edgar Allan Poe && Nathaniel Hawthorne.

I have to say, though, I only really enjoyed Arthur Miller plays, Salinger short stories, The Gatsby, Poe, and some Hawthorne. =P I'm more of a "British Lit" person.

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
The Tempest by William Shakespeare
Fight Club by Chuck Paluhnuik(sorry i slaughtered his name)
Various Poems from Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickenson, Robert Frost, ect.
There is more but I am completely drawing a blank on what I was studying last year.

Celebwen, I studied the same things as you did before the summer holidays. TKaM is alright... at first it was boring, but then it really actually grew on me...
Romeo and Juliet is very prettily written, but the more I got to understand it, the more I realised that it's the most ridiculous love story ever.

^^thats what I thought about Romeo and Juliet. My English class spent like a month or two just picking apart shakespeare and it was some of the most ridiculous stuff ever written. Hilarious, which is what I think he was going for, but ridiculous nonetheless.

Last year I studied world war one poetry (from Wilfred Owen & Siegfried Sassoon), One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest by Ken Kesey and King Lear by Shakespeare.

I thought Shakespeare to be so confusing and hard to follow

I am studying the two main alphabet's of Japanese: Hiragana and Katakana.

Im trying to learn how to write each of them.

I get to start studying poetry again on Sunday... FUN. Yeah, right. I hate studying poetry.

Aww...why? Poetry is like life... to me anyways.

I found out the books by C.S. Lewis that I am to read... the first book I think is called Perenda or something like that. My mom read it and said I would like it. So it's most likely that I might read the Sword of Shanara series by Terry Brooks instead. Ah, the freedom of homeschooling! lol!
