end of an era
Posted by: amryn
So it ends, I have mixed feelings about this. As I sit here thinking about what to write, I feel melancholic. It’s not just saying goodbye to a super cool class and teacher but also to start learning an IMMENSE amount of analytical reading and critical thinking when reading books. I learned that instead of […] read full post >>
adiós, au revoir, tchau!
Posted by: chia chi ou-chin
Final week, final blog! In a blink of an eye, I have somehow managed to read 11 books; it certainly doesn’t feel like it somehow. I have a feeling that this blog is going to go over the word count so I’m going to jump straight into it. First off, to get the negativity out […] read full post >>

Posted by: Jonathan Xu
It’s crazy to think that this semester is almost over and that I’ve basically read a book for almost every week of this year so far. I have to admit that I didn’t join this class for any great or noble reason like some others, rather it was a suggestion from a friend that it … Continue reading Thoughts on all the thoughts so far read full post >>

Initially, I anticipated the course to be predominantly focused on exploring themes of romance and love. However, it explored themes beyond […] read full post >>
Concluding Post – Week 13
Posted by: Maryem Benhallam
April 9th, 2024 Here we are, the end of the road (or the course). This course has truly changed my approach to literature.

end of a journey
Posted by: beansfalby0
This has been one of the most unique courses I have ever taken at UBC. Every single book was such a novel challenge. At the beginning of this term I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to keep up with all the reading, and was especially worried that my comprehension of the […] read full post >>
