an adventure literature class
Wouldn't that be so much fun? I was wondering if they were offered anywhere. If I were an English professor, I'd offer one. I just started reading Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan books, and am being very amused. But think: you could read the Tarzan books, Mark Twain, the books about Alan Quartermain (King Solomon's Mines, which I have yet to read), Dracula, Alexandre Dumas, The Prisoner of Zenda, I would have to read Three Men in a Boat, to Say Nothing of the Dog, maybe some Charles Dickens... I know there are more out there that I'm not thinking of right now. So much melodramatic fun to be had!
I was explaining this idea to my mother and brother, and as a result, here is my example of a Dumas passage:
"and then they ran to the inn, and then D'Artagnan swung through the window while Porthos knocked down the door and Aramis quoted the Bible while swashbuckling with the Cardinal Richlieu whose troops were trying to catch Athos and then...!"
I need unlimited access to books.
mood:
swashbuckling. and literary.
