Reading List

My time as a Fulbright ETA begins in September. That means I have about four months to prepare, at least two of which will hopefully be spent traveling. In the time I have, I will be reading furiously to supplement my pathetically deficient literary education, keeping an eye out for and actively seeking articles, games, materials and ideas that will be useful in teaching English through culture, and working on maintaining and improving my German skills.

To further this process, the following reading list has been composed. By no means comprehensive, this list represents the suggestions of others and my own ambitions, and will change and grow accordingly. I have no delusions about completing this list in the next few months, or in my lifetime, for that matter; but this will be the beginning, at least, of an expedition into the wild.
