Oxford Reading List for English
Found this online - a reading list of a first year English course at Oxford University. Wanted to create this for my own enjoyment and figured someone else might like it too! I only added the fiction and poetry books and I also did not add any companions.
The last bit (from bottom up to Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway) are required reading - top half is recommended.
