Excellent Academic Literature book  
I had to buy this book for a literature class, and it is chock full of everything from poetry to plays to fiction, long and short stories. Nice book. Have been reading more than the required because it has such a nice selection.

Portable Literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing  
This book is a good small edition to the full-sized book. While it is off in page numbers, and thusly creates the need to admit to not having the full text, the book itself had everything I needed for my class.

Great Book  
Great for any English Major will use again and again and its easier than carrying seven books.

Excellent resource for any aspiring writer  
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who wishes to become a better writer. It covers everything from short stories to drama scripts to revising & editing. Very helpful and well written.
