Hi, I'm very impressed by your commitment to learn by yourself. I'm at college at the present but since I am not totaly agreeing with the curriculum of my course I am using a methode similar to your own. I mean reading on my own what I feel I need. Your list is a great help in that respect. Thank you.
By the way. I loved Count of Monte Cristo. What a great story!
I will be reading The Heart of Darkness this Summer. I sugest you read, if you didn't already, the novel of Achebe's Things Fall Apart. As it goes, it was a response to that novel by Conrad.
Hope to hear from you, keep going, keep reading! You can write to davab3@gmail.com
