Oooh, The Great Gatsby is fantastic. Not sure how I feel about Luhrmann making it into a movie, especially with DiCaprio. Macbeth was also a favorite of mine, but we had a totally awesome "Dead Poets Society" teacher for British Lit my sophomore year in high school that made everything come alive. We spent a month each on Macbeth, Beowulf, the Canterbury Tales, and a few poems (The Seafarer by Ezra Pound was so much fun!). That was pretty much it, that was the year of British lit. It was amazing and all due to our great teacher. One book that I absolutely loathed freshman year but totally loved by senior was Wuthering Heights. Funny how tastes change, or maybe a more grown-up mind.
