Followup: reading list
My friend Kate gives us a few more suggestions to the reading list. Her collection is a combination of classics and british humor, proving that she’s a classy woman.
- Psmith in the City, P. G. Wodehouse
- Mike and Psmith, P. G. Wodehouse
- Winter of our Discontent, John Steinbeck
- Wayward Bus, John Steinbeck
- David Copperfield, Dickens
- Tale of Two Cities, Dickens - This book causes chills for anyone who took honors english at Upland High School. No mere book report was good enough for this. We had to do a compendium of analysis, banding together in groups of 5 to write 5-10 essays each on specific aspects of the novel. For most of us, it was our first all-nighter (academic all-nighter, anyway). Despite all that toil, I still liked the book. It was one of about 3 assigned books I actually enjoyed in high school.
