The Riverside Shakespeare | William Shakespeare, Gwynne Blakemore Evans, John Joseph Michael Tobin
post image

I thought I'd showcase this tiny book against the backdrop of the gigantic Riverside Shakespeare, which I lugged around 3 days a week for a semester in my junior year of college. (#Englishmajorproblems) The tiny book contains the complete plays... if only I'd had it that semester, since plays were all we read in my Shakespeare class. Now I'm picturing Dr. Smith's face seeing me turn to King Lear in this 2x2-inch volume...

I have read James Joyce's Ulysses.
I have read Moby Dick.
I have read David Copperfield 3 times.
I was an English Lit major, so I read classics for 4 years straight. Finished every one so I could get an A on the quiz.
But this is my one, most famous #DNF.
And I never ever will.
I don't even want to see the movie.
And I didn't even care that I flunked that quiz.

Reviewsbylola You go girl!! I read it on serial last year and really didn't care for it. And I was also an English major and love classics but this wasn't for me! 8y

aeeklund I'm beginning to think we're the same person... 8y
Reviewsbylola 😂😂😂😂 Don't worry. The ending was anti climactic for me by the time it eventually happened. 8y

The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry | Richard Ellmann, Jahan Ramazani, Robert O'Clair

Here's one of my #bookstacks for the #augustphotochallenge that displays all of my beloved Norton Anthologies from college ❤️. I love them, but they were really heavy to carry to class! #englishmajorproblems #augustofpages

SharonGoforth They might not be practical, but they sure look good😊📚 8y
DGRachel I ❤️my Nortons! I've even bought new ones even though I graduated nearly 20 years ago! You're right, they were a b*tch to carry to class if you had back to back classes that required full anthologies. 8y
