question: how well aware do you consider yourself about literature? whenever i mention something that i read, i just mention the title because i assume everyone else knows what i'm talking about since i consider myself behind in this. i'm unaware of a lot of the more contemporary, popular stuff so usually if i've even heard of something it's because it's considered a classic or it got too big to ignore. and by "too big to ignore" i mean it was a subject of multiple national stories or otherwise controversial. i don't pay attention to awards or anything like that so i couldn't tell you what's won any Pulitzer or anything like that.

i guess i'll start including a sentence or two on what the books are about in case people don't know and might get interested. what about for classics (like pre-1960)?


I'm an English major right now, going to be teaching...Classics are still emphasized. I am not as well read as I'd like to be on the classics. There are some things it seems like all kids read as class novels in middle and high school that I never did.

As for modern stuff, my focus tends to be young adult lit so I don't know much about more "adult" stuff.
