Uni Leselisten

Hy,

ich hab gestern meine Uni Leseliste für Anglistik bekommen und wäre fast rückwärts vom Stuhl gefallen.

Aber eine Freundin von mir meinte: "Nur keine Panik! Es gibt extra Bücher über Leselisten in denen verschiedene Bücher kurz vorgestelt werde."

Das hat mich zwar etwas beruhigt, jedoch wusste sie nicht mehr genau, woher sie das wusste.

Nach total unfruchtbaren Stunden im Internet, dachte ich, ich wende mich damit an euch.

Also, hat jemand eine Ahnung, wo ich solche Bücher finde? Oder wie vielleicht die Titel lauten könnten?

Ich wäre euch echt dankbar für Tips!

Phoebe

Hy,

es war ja auch nicht so gedacht, dass ich nur die Zusammenfassungen lese, ich dachte eher daran, diese nach den zwei Jahren zu benutzen, bevor es zur Prüfung geht um die meisten Sachen aufzufrischen. Das man nicht darum herumkommt diese Bücher zu lesen, weiß ich auch. Aber das heisst noch lange nicht, dass man sich die ganze Sache noch unnötig schwerer macht als sie eh schon ist.

Klar,

aber lass dich nicht täuschen, obwohl da ne Menge Gedichte bei sind (von den manche ganze Bücher sind) wird das nicht einfach sein.
