Hello, my name is Steven Holmes. This is a blog about reading, where we can share writing resources, tips, and discussion on that nebulous entity, "The English Canon." Enjoy!
So, this is following up on my project at http://stevendholmes.wordpress.com/2008/06/ . Whereas that site was mostly just a compilation of my notes on writing, this blog will actually be my responses to a new project I have undertaken.
I am a UC Berkeley English Literature and Rhetoric graduate considering going to grad school in English so I can continue teaching at the collegiate level, which I feel has been the richest and deepest experience I've encountered. In the process of doing so, however, I recently took a GRE prep test for English Literature and felt like there were a lot of books that "everyone has read" that I have not.
I hope you enjoy, thanks.
