University Reading List: Year 1 Semester 1

Hi,

Despite the fact that I've already been at University for several weeks, it still feels so surreal to say that I'm a University student.  I am studying the modules Reading Texts 1, Writing for Academic Success and Forms of Narrative this semester.

I've decided that it would be a good idea to post my reading list for this semester for me to look back on but also for those of you who like reading or are thinking about studying a degree in English Literature.

Note: This list is just the required reading for the first semester of my first year. I'm also expected to do secondary reading in addition to the texts posted here.
