Last spring, the English department predicted only three sections of World Literature based on registration numbers. However, course changes over the summer resulted in adding a fourth section of World Literature. Nearly 30 students decided to switch to World Literature from other senior electives in June alone. Although I am excited for the increased enrollment, I did not budget for those enrollment numbers during the book ordering process last spring.
Therefore, the school finds itself short 30 copies of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, which students begin reading on September 10. So please consider purchasing your own copy of the book for your personal library. You won't regret it! Not only will you help out the class by being a good citizen, but also you will be able to mark your book, keeping track of key thematic quotations, summarizing events at the top of key pages, and creating a character tree map in the front cover. Just think how excited you will be if you are assigned Brave New World in college and your book already holds many of the answers.
Students have found copies of Brave New World for as low as $2 at Half Price Books in Miracle Mile Shopping Center, and used copies of our class's exact edition go for $4 on Amazon.com.
