sirgurrgalot's "An English Major's reading list for 2009"

Add to my lists | Print this list

In my quest to not be the most under-read English major undergrad in my department i have compiled a list of books to read from official lists (such as BBCs Big Read) as well as recommendations from fellow readers and my own choices (which hopefully won’t differ too much from the other selections). I’ll keep adding to this list as I continue getting more books from my various other lists. Enjoy!
