I am currently studying E302. English Language and Creativity.

Since starting with the OU
I have amassed quite a good collection of text books on Language learning. Starting with Arts and Language. I also have a lot of dictionaries that I have bought over the years and a lot of music books& CDs both classical and contemporary.

 In literature I am fond of reading  the Classics Jane Eyre, Wuthering heights, Little Women, Anne of Green gables, Emma, Pride and predjudice. Dickens Great expectations, Bleak House, and A Christmas Carol. I also like CS Lewis and Tolkien. Poems by Blake, Wordswoth and Keats also the Oxford book of Poetry. (Various poets.) Including Emily Dickinson.

I also like the French books-  in french of course! Germinal, Zola. Madame Bovary La Tentation de Saint Antoine by Flaubert some of Maigret series by Simenon in french, En Attendant Godot  by Samuel Becket,  Albert Camus La peste, l'etranger et La Mort heureuse
Balzac My Cousin Bette, le Père Goriot
Le Conte de monte cristo, by Dumas,  Le Petit prince.
Some Poetry books Les Fleurs du Mal by Baudelaire
and A Book of French Song (in french) by Bernard Minssen. As well as the french feminist writer Simone de Beauvoir. 

 I haven't  yet read all of the French books,  just a few of them,  but hopefully I will get through them all eventually.

These are just some of the books I have bought over the last five years,  from the Oxfam bookshop  in the city, for just around a couple of pounds each!! Cheap huh?
