So, for my English Literature course, I have to do a lot of reading. So I've read many 'texts'. Here's just some of the recent texts:
'A Streetcar Named Desire' - Tennessee Williams (I'm still waiting for Sky to show the brilliant film once again).
On Chesil Beach - written by the genius that is Ian McEwan.
Tess of the D'Ubervilles - still reading. Thomas Hardy is difficult at first. Sad when you know the ending though. Want to get the BBC series though. Read some of 'Far from the Madding Crowd' too.
I find it really helpful to watch adaptations of the more difficult texts e.g. Othello, MacBeth etc to visualise what you're reading. Especially if it's a play.
Then I've read Atonement, The Child in Time, Wuthering Heights (a true masterpiece, as is the song) some of Jane Eyre, Small Island, Christina Rossetti poetry, Carol Ann Duffy poetry, some of John Milton's 'Paradise Lost', Ernest Dowson, Philip Larkin, T.S Eliot, George Bernard Shaw's 'Mrs Warren's Profession' and everyone knows Romeo & Juliet. If all else fails haha. And then etc etc etc. When I write it, it seems a lot. Oooh and the Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables.
Enough for 'Love Through the Ages'? I bloody well hope so.
