The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated.
Welcome back to Wednesday. On this glorious day, I will be on appointments from 10 am to 6 pm, so I will likely not comment on blogs until later. I appreciate your comments.
Today, we are talking about books we read in school and actually liked. I will be honest and say I recall the ones I didn't like much more easily. Let's give it a shot and see what the list looks like.
In college, I recall more poetry: Robert Frost, H.P. Lovecraft, and T.S. Eliot, whose work I truly loved. In high school American history, I had to recite from memory all of "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I did the same for a public speaking class in college.
How about you? What books did you enjoy in school?

The Canterbury Tales were so interesting. I wish Chaucer had been able to finish them!
Man, I was thinking about High School rather than college, and all I'd come up with was Beowulf and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Throw in college, and I get Shakespeare, Lord Byron, and a whole bunch of others.
I read the Canterbury Tales at home, we didn't get the opportunity at school. But from what I remember those certainly were some interesting stories.
