Yeah we are doing Retreat from the Global as well

It actually sounds interesting (seeing I find crime fiction boring)

Everyone seems to be doing crime fiction or revenge tragedy. Are there any 'Individual and Society' people at all....

WHY IS EVERYBODY DOING CRIME FIC?

My teacher said she wanted to do it because it is "safe" (that is: she ahd done it for the past 4 or so years) but this year the class decided to do speculative fiction, which is good, since I don't like crime fiction.

Our texts are Dune, Handmaiden's Tale, et cetera.
OMG, I hate you. I love those books. Dune is my idol.

*cough*

We're doing 19th Centuary Fiction (well, actually, change of paradigms in the 19thC as portrayed in texts), and our prescribed texts include George Eliot's Middlemarch; selected poems by Robert Browning and Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. But we were advised to read wisely, and indeed have to use an outside text in a december assessment, so i'm also reading (joy): Herman Melville's Moby-Dick; Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment; Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South; Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey.

Oh! And Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species and Descent of Man.

I'm going to be reading for a loooong time...

She sure did, and a lot more. She even started a Who Hates Kwayera? poll/thread and made multiple accounts to have a vendetta against me. It was really quite amusing.

we're doing retreat from the global as well, i'm not exactly sure what the global is but i guess we'll find out... the only text i know that we're doing is the shipping news. i was thinking about the text that we have to choose...has anyone seen the german movie "goodbye lenin"?? do you think that fits into the "retreat from the global " topic?!!

Texts and Ways of thinking - Individual in society (what Kwayera is doing) is the BEST elective. I love it, and yes those books will take you FOREVER to read! :p... but it is well worth it!
