How to Read Literature Like a Professor

Monday February 23, 2004
How to Read Literature Like a ProfessorIn his new book, Thomas Foster opens up a new world of literature, drawing from some of the world's greatest classics to explore what literature is, what it means to us, and how we can understand it. It's a fun and entertaining introduction for students and book lovers alike. In this "engaging, thought-provoking, maddening, fun" book, Foster explores the greatest works in literature. Foster's light-witty style makes for easy reading. It reminds me of a gathering together of old literature friends, where we discuss books and writing. Imagine the entertainment of it all.
