From what I
learned in Literature and Media Studies is a better understanding of how ideas
are translated onto different mediums. This class helped me appreciate
literature more because of all the good books we read and discussed in class.
Some notable works were The
Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by
Junot Diaz, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, and Sleep Donation by Karen Russell. Being an individual that doesn’t read
books often, its never because I don’t enjoy reading. In a world where time is
limited and there are plenty of books to be read, it is hard to stumble upon a
literary work that is interesting for me.
From my last
experience with books before this class would be in high school. Some books I
remember reading is Catcher in
the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Animal Farm by George Orwell and the short
story I Have No Mouth, and I
Must Scream by Harlan
Ellison. I know I have read more than that in my life but these works are
significant to me.
Some books that I have heard of
but didn’t read yet and would like to read includes A
Clockwork Orange by Anthony
Burgess and The
Great Gatsby by F. Scott
Fitzgerald. A book I remember reading but didn’t finish is Fahrenheit
451 by Ray Bradbury. A lot of
my book choices are often from other people’s recommendations and a lot of the
books I read are pretty old. I find that good writing is recognized a while
after it is written which makes it hard to find good books written
recently.
