nice try whiteposter, you can't fool me, good luck in college though, you could make something of yourself if you just pursued your passion instead of shitposting

What do you want to focus on? American? British? Irish? Diaspora?

World Literature is my focus.

p sure you can look up your curriculum, boyo.
you should read up on literary theory and critical thinking though

The Lovely Bones

Lmao. I'm serious guys.

bleak house

Okay. Won't do. Thanks

God I hate bookers. Bookers ruined this country.

If you were like me and an idiot when you first read them go back and revisit the Iliad and Odyssey, major Shakespeare, Austen, Dickens and Woolf.

the gregs

If you're actually serious and not just shit posting, get Bloom's Western Cannon and use the back for suggestions. He lists an enormous amount of books from most countries and time period. Assuming you already read the essential canonic works.

I actually made this thread to get the race-obsessed frogmen to shit on blacks

Whats it like being a mythical creature?

> Educated
>English PhD
If you wanted to further solidify the stereotype that we're all retarded so badly, you could've just joined q hang.

>English Ph.D.
But why? Have you looked at how saturated the market is with English Ph.D.s?
In that case, you should be doing comp lit if you want to get a job afterwards.

focus on japanese literature since it will come in handy when become mr english teacher in japan and need a citizenship

okay retard ignore one of the greatest novels ever written

this is actually the best thing you can do with your time if you're getting an English Ph.D. Take asian language classes, they're the ones hiring

why do niggers on Veeky Forums always have to let us know they're niggers?

because you only notice the ones that do that

t. nigger
