THREELISTTHURSDAY

1. The Aeneid
2. The Bell Jar
3. The Catcher In The Rye
4. Dracula

I only read these 4 books. I think the most interesting books I read were The Iliad and The Aeneid. I listened to a dramatized audiobook of these stories and I liked taking in the stories that way because I felt like I was listening to plays and I like plays but I never understood what was going on and I don‘t remember anything that happened.

#ThreeListThursday

Not too many for me. I didn‘t click the Phillip Roth book. I read a few waaaaay back in the day but have no memory if it was one I‘d read. I have read all the Atwood listed but none of the Morrison which I need to rectify. I was shocked to see the tagged book on this list. A book I liked but didn‘t love. I‘m curious why it‘s on an AP list.

Faves:

All the Light We Cannot See
The Color Purple
East of Eden

@dabbe

dabbe I have no idea how it made it on the list except to say it only appeared once on the AP exam in 2009. Maybe the College Board thought twice about it, too! 😂 I own ALL THE LIGHT but have yet to read it. 😱 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 2d

@dabbe You're really testing my memory with these! 🤣 I hope Mr. Locascio, who was my AP Humanities teacher, wouldn't be too disappointed in my score.

3 that stuck with me:
🩵 Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
🩵 Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina Garcia
🩵 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams (Technically I've never read this, but I've seen the play several times. And the movie because Paul Newman)

#tlt #threelistthursday

dabbe I'm testing myself, too, and have found that I have a LOT to still read! And yes, you have read CAT. You didn't read with your eyes, but you listened (audio counts) and saw the play, which is how a play is meant to be consumed! I hope you counted it! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵🩶🩵 2d

lil1inblue @dabbe I did count it! 💙 I have so much to read still, too. 😉 2d

An Enemy of the People: An Adaptation of the Play by Henrik Ibsen | Arthur Miller

#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

This was fun, there were so many here I have not got around to reading and it was a good reminder, and by sheer coincidence I will soon be reading An of the People, translation by Arthur Miller. I am really excited about this one as I didn't even know I had it and found it in one of my anthologies as I was looking through the content.

dabbe Yay! We only got through the Cs, so more booklists are coming! Thanks for playing and sharing! 🩵🩶🩵 2d

My three favorites and ones that I still read are.
1. Beowulf
2. Canterbury Tales
3. Don Quixote

dabbe You are an epic lover! 🤩 What choices! Do you prefer BEOWULF in prose or poetry? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 3d

Pogue @dabbe for Beowulf poetry, for Canterbury Tales I prefer it in Middle English. 3d

dabbe @Pogue Middle English? Consider me #gobsmacked on that one! I prefer the BEOWULF poetry, too. 🤗 2d

This was a frustrating list! Between my HS teaching and curriculum review project work, I feel like I should have read more of these. Instead, I found that I had read many of these authors, but not these specific books listed.

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

SaunteringVaguelyDownwards When we score the AP tests, we reward the students for how well they actually answer the question - we don't evaluate whether the work they wrote about was of sufficient literary merit or not. I've had students write fantastic essays about manga or YA books compared to some who wrote about classics they didn't really understand. 3d

dabbe The same! This HS English teacher only read 20! Yikes! 😱 More may be coming on other lists, though; we only got to the C's! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩵🩶🩵 3d

17 is actually more than I thought I‘d get. And that is only because of the high school I went to. We had extensive required reading lists.

Favorites-
As I Lay Dying
Brave New World
Dracula

On my TBR-
The Bell Jar

I did see the movies for Agnes of God and Emma. 😹
