Just getting into English Literature

[Gata181817]

Hi, My name is Rudy. I'm currently teaching studying for my CSET English exam. I have already passed the first two (I and II) and currently studying for the last two. I am looking for people who want to study for the test or just want to start and an English/American literature group. I'm currently into Classic English literature. So if you have any suggestions in what is proper for the Classics, let me know?

Some spontaneous classic prose reading suggestions:
UK-
Jane Eire- Charlotte Brontë
David Copperfield/ Christmas Tales- Charles Dickens
Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility- Jane Austen
The Return of the Native-Thomas Hardy
The Cantenbury Tales
Waverley-Walter Scott
Treasure Island-Robert Louis Stevenson
The Wisdom of Father Brown-Chesterton
Lord Jim/ Heart of Darkness-J. Conrad
Lord of the Flies-William Golding
Dubliners-James Joyce

US
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn-Mark Twain
Moby Dick/ Billy Budd-Herman Melville,
Little Women-Louisa May Alcott
Light in August-W. Faulkner

Some of my personal favorites:
To Kill A Mockingbird- Harper Lee
A Separate Peace- John Knowles
The Old Man and the Sea- Ernest Hemingway
The Grapes of Wrath- John Steinbeck
Watership Down- Richard Adams
And Then There Were None/Murder on the Orient Express- Agatha Christie
A Tale of Two Cities- Charles Dickens
and...
The Scarlet Letter- Nathaniel Hawthorne

A couple of those are probably considered "peripheral" classics (Adams, Christie) but well worth reading in my opinion.

Good luck!
