The English Teacher's 100: Personal Favorites of a Maverick Instructor - Page 2

100 works of fiction - some canonical, some literary, some genre, and some just...
No plays, because the compiler, after 45 + years working in the theatre as well as teaching, firmly believes that plays should be seen and heard, not read.
The list is meant to be personal and idiosyncratic , and is in no way intended to be a "100 Best Books" list.
