What's everyone reading for next semester? My reading list looks like this: -Sir Gawain and the Green Knight -Le Morte d'Arthur -History of the Kings of Britain -Sir Perceval of Galles and Ywain and Gawain Looks like someone's taking a class on Arthurian lit. Technically two. I'm taking general Arthurian Literature and then an independent study on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. |

It's a month until Semester 1 for this year in Australia... but I'm only doing one real English class.  My other one is technically English at my school but it's actually film (Hollywood or Bust!). Anyway the class is Modernisms and we're reading: Prufrock and Other Observations - T.S Eliot As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - James Joyce (Which I already finished reading ahead of time... wow). Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka St Mawr - D.H Lawrence Miss Lonelyhearts - Nathanael West To the Lighthouse - Virginia Woolf And I just realised I don't have a real English class 2nd semester either. *cries* |

I just got into an Experimental Literature class, because apparently I needed another lit course to graduate. And here I thought I had taken more than was neccessary...
We're reading a lot of "texts" I've been wanting to read, like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Watchmen, and I get to read Frankenstein again, so I'm not exactly complaining. We're also using video games as texts, including the Hitchhiker's Guide video game and Moore's Promethea, which I find strange. Never had to play games for an assignment before...

Oh my goodness. I second Dodger's sentiments. My school actually offered a course last semester called "The Wired Story: Narrative Theory in the Electronic Age" that traced the development of the narrative in digital media. It went a lot into RPG games apparently. I really wanted to take it, but it was scheduled at the same time as my Shakespeare course and if I didn't get my pre-1660 credit I couldn't graduate in the spring, soo... |

I do love me some RPGs. We apparently also offer a Game Theory class at my college, which assume would be something like that. I can't beleive I didn't know this before... |
