Suggested Reading

Every great learning experience includes a list of resources, often books, for further learning. This section is ENGL2105's list of books worth reading. Hover over a cover and you will see a link to the book on Amazon (you might be able to get it cheaper elsewhere) and, in many cases, some key highlights from the book. The purpose of the highlights is to give you a clear sense of what the book has to offer and a memory aid to key ideas.

A common class assignment is to give a short presentation on a book related to the learning objectives of this class; you might find a worthy book here. A word of warning: if you are in a hurry, you might be tempted to choose a book for which there are extensive highlights and use them as an alterntive to reading the book. This strategy will fail because you won't be able to answer questions effectivley, having no context for interpreting the questions asked. READ THE BOOK. Use the quotations to poke your memory and improve your understanding.
