Agualusa on Reluctant Dreamers

Posted by: feedwordpress

I did not know what to think while reading, ‘The Society of Reluctant Dreamers’, by José Eduardo Agualusa. It is certainly a book that I found exists more in the realm of the unknown than the known. The story relies on speculation much of the time... read full post >>

Conclusions

Conclusion

Posted by: feedwordpress

I am a bit surprised that I actually enjoyed this course so much considering that I mostly just took It to fulfill my literature requirement. It was a great opportunity for me to read so many books because if I hadn’t taken this course I honestly probably wouldn’t have read any this term at all. […] read full post >>
