Non-Required Reading - Page 2

A maverick Brit. Lit. Teacher's idiosyncratic list of English Lit. Worth reading even if it's NOT assigned. Some are canonical, some are genre pieces, some are penny dreadfuls, but all are worth reading for their own sake. Plays have been excluded because plays should be seen and heard, not read.
