My senior of high school, I got college credit, and for some reason I never wanted to take another English class. I think it was writing papers that did me in.<BR/><BR/>rhinoa-maybe I will read the Old Man and the Sea someday. I really should read Don Quixote. I studied abroad in Spain and half the students there read it during the semester.Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-67681873869617761072008-04-06T13:29:00.000-05:002008-04-06T13:29:00.000-05:00Go on, Read the Old Man and The Sea.

I split it into two main sections with a big gap in the middle. I always had something else on the go as well reading wise as it seemed to take forever to get anywhere with it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-79490134532920468822008-04-06T10:52:00.000-05:002008-04-06T10:52:00.000-05:00I've had fun reading everyone's answers to this qu...I've had fun reading everyone's answers to this question (I used to play but don't have time now). I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses Sparknotes! :) There are a few books that I read last year that read some of the analysis for [As I Lay Dying, Howards End, Age of Innocence, Portrait of the Lady]. <BR/><BR/>I briefly taught freshman English and strongly feel that *all* college students should take some sort of English writing/lit class. I was one of the few instructors who had actually taken freshman comp as an undergrad! Alright, I'm moving into rant mode, so I'll stop there. :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-11740697081019003212008-04-06T07:25:00.000-05:002008-04-06T07:25:00.000-05:00Great answer!

They'll be gone a week after the final exam. Things you understand, however, are things you tend to remember for a long time.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.com
