yeah I chose Latin, too. I had a choice between Latin and French and at that time I really didn't like French (I'm talking about the language here, NOT the people!!) and so I chose Latin.. a terribly bad choice, but luckily I don't have it anymore now ^^

Doing Emma by Jane Austen. I really like it so far, anything by Jane Austen tends to appeal to me

I'm reading Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee in English class. It's just gross

I don't like either of mine. Perhaps it's just my mind-set and i'm just not giving them a fair chance. However it is school and it needs to be done

Eä wrote: Oh I loved Animal Farm and I'm thinking of reading it again, it's been many years since I read it and I migh see it in a new way now. I also read 1984 at the same time but I found it depressing and scary... should probably read that one again too!
I love the way Animal Farm ended. Orwell has guts, publishing that kind of "political insult" during his time period. We just finished Lord of the Flies (fantastic analysis of human nature), and we're about to write a research paper comparing that with Animal Farm.

*nods at LDM's statement on Lord of the Flies* Absolute genius Golding was. What a moving masterpiece.
Right now in Lit. we're doing a small study on American literature. We've just started up A Lesson Before Dying and already I'm moved by the depth of the story. It is the first real glimpse I think I've ever had of a post-WWII US and its coloured people trying to defy the odds for equality.

So far this year we've read:
The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne (Pretty good)
The Mysterious Stranger, by Mark Twain (Creepy but interesting. I didn't know that Twain could be so depressing.)
The Great Gatsby, by Fitzgerald (Good)
The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway (Very good)
Right now we're working on a research paper where we compare and contrast the protagonists from The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises, especially in relation to the "lost generation."

I don't think we're quite done with Twelfth Night yet, which is fine by me because I like it better than anything school-related I've read in several years. After this I think we're moving on to either Othello or Vanity Fair, which I am NOT looking forward to based on what I've heard about it.

Right now it's Uncle Tom's Cabin that I'm studying.... it's a very good and touching story! Better than I ever thought it'd be...
