Truly, I found this a very good intro to literature, reading and comprehension takes time, and skill, and literature has been known to be a stimulus to exploring other time periods, peoples. Reading literature was not encouraged in my youth. I had poor community college literature instructor, so I was not encouraged to read literature; he wanted his students to parrot his lecturers in written papers to make the A's and B's. So I did. This book is filling in some gaps for what I missed in college and high school, helping to improve my skills or evaluate what skills I think I might have in reading and writing. ( )

Not high level reading, as I would expect from a college textbook, many of the short stories and poems I read in my honors english class during my freshman year of high school. I did not anticipate that I would re-read these stories my freshman year of college in English 1B: Literature and Composition. ( )
