Literature and Ourselves: A Thematic Introduction for Readers and Writers (5th Edition) 1 review Gloria Mason Henderson, William Day, ...
Longman, 2005
Excellent book
This is a great book for those who like to read short stories, essays, and poems from different genres and authors. I needed it for an Eng Lit class, but I want to own it for myself. Unlike other college books that are sold back to the school, this is a keeper.
