21st-Century Literature

In our classes, we often spend the most time discussing novels, plays, and poems from days gone by, but during our “down” time, we often get a chance to read great literature published recently.  We are interested in your thoughts about the best book(s) you have read that has been published since 2000.  Can you recommend any “must reads”?  If so, post it in the comments section below.

No Such Thing as Free Rice?

Go to freerice.com and for every vocabulary word you correctly define (multiple choice), the United Nations World Food Program distributes 20 grains of rice. According to the FAQ, the rice is purchased using advertisers’ fees. Now off you go to see if you know what “isinglass” means.

Welcome

Welcome to the blog for English majors and faculty at Southern Connecticut State University.  We would like to use this space to “talk” about all things literary, from discussing books and posting literary news to offering reading suggestions and sharing our creative work.  Feel free to post and comment, and, as always, keep reading.
