If there is one thing I took away from those dreaded AP classes in high school, it's the love for literature.
I will forever be thankful to Mrs. Woodrow, my 11th and 12th grade AP English & English Literature teacher, for introducing me(or in some cases, allowing me to rekindle my admiration) to most of my all time favorite books, poems, authors, essays, etc. In order to save time & space, I'll just name the people who wrote the words, rather than list all of my likes, there are too many.
Writers/Authors:
- William Shakespeare
- J.D. Salinger
- Sylvia Plath
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
- Tennessee Williams
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
- Jean Jacques Rousseau
- Mark Twain
- Jane Austen
- Aristophanes
- Walt Whitman
Just to name a few... what can I say, I have a fascination for the written word.
I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful. If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the opera. It's terrible. -Holden Caulfield.
