Used this to teach a dual enrollment English 112 class and found it to be a great collection. Has some great in-depth poetry sections. And the selection of short stories was wonderful. The drama section includes some nice, succinct plays. My students were pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoyed readings from this text.

If I had to suffer through this entire book for an entire semester, I'm sure as heck putting it towards my yearly reading goal. If I had to suffer through this entire book for an entire semester, I'm sure as heck putting it towards my yearly reading goal.

This wasn't a cover to cover read, but I spent many months in Laos working my way through the fiction, poetry, drama and associated criticism. Makes me wish i'd done a literature degree.

This is the one you want. It's so diverse and takes a chance. Hell, it's got comics in here! Popular songs in the poetry section (Springstein, Dylan, etc.) and even has poetry that feature beautifully rendered art describing the poem. It's a little pricey, over $100, but damn worth the extra pennies. This is the one you want. It's so diverse and takes a chance. Hell, it's got comics in here!

We are still reading this book in class lol. But, so far, I've really liked it. It has some good stories; it has some bad. It all just depends on the reader. I do hope that there will be several more good stories in this that I'll have to read as I finish my semester in AP Literature and Composition. We are still reading this book in class lol.

My husband got this as part of an AP training class for preview. I read it for the short stories, which I loved, especially since there were several stories from some of my favorite authors which I hadn't yet read. I skipped the plays section, as I really dislike plays. My husband got this as part of an AP training class for preview.
