Literature Overview for 2011

A literature selection is usually considered to be a work of fiction.  But you are welcome to choose books from other categories as your own choice literature selections.  You can choose from works of non-fiction, self-help, gospel related etc.... as long as they are different books from the ones you are reading in other subject areas this year.  However, it is highly recommended you choose works of fiction.    

----------------

Keep a notebook.  The notebook can be used for thoughts and impressions, summaries, quotes, and more.

“It is very helpful to read with a commonplace book or reading-diary, in which to put down any striking thought in your author, or your own impression of the work, or of any part of it; but not summaries of facts. Such a diary, carefully kept through life, should be exceedingly interesting as containing the intellectual history of the writer; besides, we never forget the book that we have made extracts from, and of which we have taken the trouble to write a short review.” 

-- Charlotte Mason (V, 260.)
