Books I Should Have Read in School Challenge
In signing up for my own challenge, how embarrassing is it that I'm not sure I can commit to the highest level, Literature Professor? And yet, I am just not sure I can read 12 books I should have read in school. Actually, I have done a pretty decent job of returning to books I should have read, such as Wuthering Heights, The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, and the like, mainly because I'm a high school English teacher, and if I missed them myself in high school, I can read them as a teacher when I prepare to teach them. But there are a few books I missed or didn't finish.
All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren
1984 by George Orwell
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
Howard's End by E. M. Forster
I'm going to commit to reading these six books next year, which will be Graduate Student Level if I complete all six.
