Re: Assigned Reading: What Stands Out?
The AF (who took a lot of English classes, but was not an English major, AND whose father and auntie were English teachers) offers up these responses:
LOVED: "Watership Down" by Richard Adams - would not have read it otherwise if it had not been assigned. (Side note: this is my favorite book. I read it because I was working in a library when it came out, and hundreds of people had it on the "reserved" list, so I read it to see what all the fuss was about. It's one of the few books I have read more than twice.)
LOVED: "The EarthSea Trilogy" by Ursula LeGuin - was assigned in a children's literature course in college, now one of her favorites (and up to six books, I believe).
HATED: "Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. She despised it.
