Literature is, by far, my strongest subject and something that I enjoy doing.Originally posted by Withcheese+9 April 2004 - 00:09--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Withcheese @ 9 April 2004 - 00:09)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by chalice@8 April 2004 - 21:56

I'm gonna be studying American Literature or English Literature, I still haven't made uo my mind which of the two I'd prefer. Perhaps a poll will help me...
Fair play to you. I did something similar at Aberystwith a while ago.
What made you stick with lit?
There is something very satisfying about reading a text and then spending hours taking it apart and trying to find what the author was doing, how characters are motivated and how language works in story telling.
Similar with poetry, you can read a good poem but to then look at a poem closely and see how well (or bad! a poet can bring across a point or theme is as pleasureable as reading the piece.
At the moment I can't wait until I get stuck into some good books/poetry at Uni. I get my reading list real soon so I'll be sure to post it here (or in Bookworld...) to get other people's opinions.
