Students may obtain—new or used—any (unabridged) version of the books below. I will encourage them to take notes in the text so that they can be ready to find and present answers to questions and evidence of their opinions. Students are encouraged to begin reading in the order presented, although I plan to supplement the novels with short stories, poetry, sermons, and essays. The title links to a reliable new edition on Amazon; I’ve included links to comparable editions on BetterWorldBooks and Thriftbooks.
