I can’t believe I’m writing my final blog post already! It feels like not too long ago when we were just starting up and I was confused about how to start a blog. I want to thank Professor Jon and the TAs for being so enthusiastic and amazing at teaching this course! To answer the question from the lecture video,…

It actually feels kind of unreal that this is the last post because I swear I was just complaining about having to read a book a week and now I’m lowkey sad it’s over. Like why did this class trick me into becoming someone who enjoys reading consistently. I didn’t expect that at all. What […]

Any difficulty I had with reading these books will no longer put me off of classic books! Proust was the hardest for me to read, but it set me up well for the rest of the class. Throughout the course we hit a series of learning outcomes, so here is a quick how-to for future […]

It feels so weird to be done. This class helped me push up my yearly reading goal on Goodreads and now, I won’t have a constant recommendation on what to read anymore. No joke, this class made me think of joining a book club because reading the novels and discussing them in class was my […]

I think Love Me Tender is such an interestingly written piece that goes against the ideas of love, motherhood, and identity. The expectations placed on women are traditionally challenged by the choice of personal freedom over social approval, which, as a woman of this generation, I LOVE to see. I think one of the most […]
