I read a Dante's Inferno, The Prince, The Quiet American, a couple of the William Blake Collections, a good portion of the Bible, quite a bit of Shakespeare... um, I don't even remember what else haha. It was a lot to take in. Needless to say I was a bit burned out after that, and coupled with working a full time internship over the summer I never got back in to my reading habits. This would probably get me back to my old form more than anything else would so I'm all for this.
English Major has like zero job opportunities except...English teacher. My mom was an english major when she graduated, and then went back and got a computer engineering degree.
