[self-indulgent twaddle excised]
By the way.....what are you planning on concentrating on for Grad school? Are you doing a specific period or style of literature or anything?
As for Piers....I'll have to dig up a sample online or something and see if the language is beyond me. I've read Spenser, Chaucer and Malory (well, working on Malory), but Piers is older than all of those. I suppose with a good dictionary/glossary/footnotes I could get it done.
I look forward to Pilgrim's Progress. I absolutely loved The Scarlet Letter. The heavy-handed morality is entertaining to me. I imagine I'll enjoy Bunyan.
How can you eat Spam and Ramen? And, come on, Reduced Fat peanut butter? If you're going to eat peanut butter, you may as well do it right!
I like Dickens' long works too. Oliver and Copperfield are my favorites so far. I'll have to hit up the used bookstore and see if I can fish out a copy of Bleak House.
