So it's most likely that I might read the Sword of Shanara series by Terry Brooks instead. Ah, the freedom of homeschooling! lol!
Um, Perelandra is the second of a trilogy...does your mom know that?

Yeah... That's just the only one I somewhat remembered the name of. She's read all three and says it's not the kind of book I'd get into.

I liked them. The last one, whatever it was called, wasn't as good, but I liked the first two a lot.

I'm about to start into Beowulf as part of my grade 11 study of British Literature. I'm hoping I'll find it engaging

The list of all I'll be studying for English Lit includes - "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Macbeth", "The Poisonwood Bible", "The Catcher in the Rye", and "East of Eden" are among a few of them.

I'm hoping I'll find it engaging  i love love love love love beowulf. it got me completely hooked when i was seven, and it's practically the reason i'm now studying english at university. i really hope you love it as much as i do. in fact, i'll be studying beowulf in the second semester of the coming academic year, and as part of that module i'll learn basic anglo-saxon. i've been waiting twelve years for this, and i absolutely cannot wait. next semester, i'll be studying piers plowman, sir gawain and the green knight and selected chaucer for a module on the medieval renascance; and the poetic edda and the saga of the volsungs for a module on old norse mythology (for which i'll learn old norse). i'm also taking a module about the development of the english language, for which my main text is a history of english: a sociolinguistic approach. as you may be able to guess, i'm really interested in medieval literature and i'm trying to specialise in it as much as possible.

i am sooo jealous of that reading list - i never got a reading list that good when i was at school. macbeth is my second favourite play to read, i loved the poisonwood bible and the catcher in the rye, and one flew over the cuckoo's nest is top of my list of books to read - it sounds fascinating.

It seems like I need to read Beowulf since you all talk so much about it. I have never heard about it except from here, and I assume it's a bit difficult to be reading on my own, so I hope some of you want to discuss it with me if I eventually get to read it.
Macbeth is a play I have been wanting to read for a long time. I really hope I can get time to read it soon.
And concerning Norse mythology. Let me know if you need any help or want to discuss!

Lol.  I was rather excited myself when I first looked at it. I've heard "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is extremely good. I can't wait to get started on it!

Lol--last year we read through Macbeth and 'studied' it, etc., though there were only three of us 'studying it' with my mom, but there are a lot more than three parts, so we tried it with a whole ton of different accents. It's really funny reading the characters with a Southern-ish accent.
Okay, that was random. Anyway, my assigned 'reading list' for this year is over a hundred (probably over 150) books, so I'm not even going to get close to finishing it.
