In preparing for my presentation this week, i thought not only about books/stories that i read and liked but literary texts that would impact my class in a great way and something they would enjoy reading. While i have read some of the texts in my syllabus, some of the others i have not read but hope to read very soon.
My syllabus also follows a flow in time from like history texts to modern ones. I started with Aristophanes, Lysistrata then "Twelfth Night" by Shakespeare, Beowulf, Dante Inferno, Some verses of the New Testamest, Chinau Achebe "Things Fall Apart", Wole Soyinka "Death and the Kings Horseman", and last but not the least Haruki Murakami "Norwegian Wood."
My best part of this syllabus is the modern part- the last three books-because they are not only fun to read but teach a lot of things. Norwegian wood is my favorite which i read my first semester freshman year and fell in love with. I feel like its a book one will always remember after reading.
