Let me start out by nth-ing the "this is my favorite thread on SA right now" comments. I wish I lived near you so I could buy you several beers. I'm out of college now so classes aren't really an option, but I've been wanting to get into English literature for my own edification and leisure. Would you recommend the books you listed on the last page for someone just looking to get the most enjoyment out of difficult books in his spare time? I'm not planning on publishing any journal articles or anything, obviously, so super deep analysis isn't required. But I do know that I'll need some guidance to understand what's going on in the harder stuff. If the ones you listed are maybe too far on the hardcore scholar side for my purposes, got any recommendations that would fit?

Brainworm posted:Book recommendations. I picked up The Western Canon and read the first chapter. Holy crap Bloom is cranky and hilarious and unbelievably smart! I'll know for sure once I get further into the book, but I'm pretty sure this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
