I took it in the new Burris building during my senior year. I think mine was taught by Dixon, and we did a tea party at the end of the semester and each pretended to be a Russian writer. I got Gogol. I know we did Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov in my class because that was a LOT of reading on top of the three other lit classes I took that semester. We were in different classes.

Welcome! Funny how we find each other, huh? Wasn't it taught by Hobar and Dixon? Were you in my class? I remember it was in a trailer, and then we had that scavenger hunt at the end of the semester. I don't think we read A.K. in the class but I'll be honest, my memory is not that great on these books. I'm probably wrong on a couple, but I figure I claimed something incorrectly and forgot something else I read and it'll even out. Yes, that was the Academy class. Welcome!

Was that the one they offered at the Academy? I loved that one. Can't remember the teacher's name. Hi, by the way. I was a year behind you in high school. Just found you on Katie's blog (Wandering Bella). How did you get out of a Russian Lit class without Anna Karenina?

He says, "Where's the Mark Twain?" He, like you, is much more into non fiction. I've actually read 29.5. (I'm reading Emma now) Many were read in High school and college and "Kiddie Lit" for elementary-ed majors, but I've been working the last several years to catch up on some of the classics I missed.
