The only version of Beowulf worth reading is the bilingual one.
 
For senior year, they’ve made us read Othello (which is great when you have a class full of idiots who don’t understand the basic background of the play), the Metamorphosis (which was a depressing bit of self-loathing), and The Things They Carried (which owns like a motherfucker.)

I don’t remember Chaucer, but Beowulf was a neat read for it’s time period. I did read Shakespeare, but I never saw an interest until Princess♥Luna talked about them.
 
In my English courses, I mostly remember poems about small stuff as well as To Kill a Mockingbird, and the Metamorphosis. I liked both, even if I was forced to read them.

Gatsby’s great if you want to get a feel for how fucked-up things were following WWI and before the Depression.
 
Also Julius Caesar is the best Shakespeare play, especially if you the real history.

Shakespeare is one of those things that gets better when you realize that he was the Renaissance equivalent of an exploitation director. Also, when you realize Romeo and Juliet was not meant as a romance. XD

Fuck all y’all, Great Gatsby was awesome. I gelled with it like mad as a young man, for better or worse.
 
Although I think the analysis of the eyeglass billboard was…um…counterproductive.

I could never get into the Great Gatsby. Like, I’m sure it’s a good book and all. Yet I could never get into it as a story. It felt dry, and in every way sort of a soap opera in novel form.
 
I don’t think it helped that I was forced to read it.
