To Read or not to Read, that is the Question?

I know that the reading of books and literature come with the title of being an English major, but never did I imagine having to buy 18 books for one semester. I will be very busy this semester and hitting the books. Maybe you would like to join me. . . that is if you were trying to figure out what book would like to tackle next. Here is the list of books I must have for this coming school semester:

READY! SET! READ!
