I don't know that I want to play and reveal that the lit major has read fewer of the books than the agriculture and education majors. Forgive me...
I know! I decided not to play after I saw Betsy's list. Embarrassing...
Teachers have the magical secret weapon of summer.
Why didn't you love Jane Eyre and the Lord of the Rings trilogy?
I remember Jane Eyre as being rainy and depressing, and I didn't love the Lord of the Rings books. I'm really very picky. I don't like things that are dark, or with descriptions of people that are dirty, or things that aren't real. I loved Sam, but that was it.
