Great Reading

The essays placed in this book are very well written (of course). Since I am using this for an English class, it have been a very good reference as well as a good read. Strongly suggest this book.

Phenomenal Reading!

I had to purchase this book for my english course, but after only two weeks of reading and discussion I feel such an empowerment by the selections. I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite author because each one is represented so uniquely by their stories. After my class is over, I look forward to sitting down and reading those that were not assigned and re-reading those icons of society that were picked by my professor. If you want a short introduction to various famous authors then this is definitely a book you will enjoy!
