Reading List From Thomas C Foster's How to Read Literature Like a Professor - Kbear - Page 3

I am just finishing up this wonderful book by Thomas C Foster, How to Read Literature Like a Professor. At the end he provides a reading list which is where this list comes from. Most of the large collections I have included only include his suggestions. To know more details and particularly the "why" something is on the list read his book! I take full credit for any mistakes in this list.
