For the future students of English 215, i would say be ready to read. But don't worry, it is almost all enjoyable. Of course you will have one or two pieces your not crazy about but they are all engaging and more pleasure than pain. I was able to read a lot of great books in a short amount of time. I think, however, that I understood these stories very well and was able to look into them with depth. I also have to say that while three papers may seem like a lot, they are enjoyable because of the freedom you have. You are not limited by the teacher's topic, you are only limited by how much you get out of the reading. Also be prepared to actually meet once a week, it can be tricky if you have a lot of other requirements to meet. Expect an interesting class that will teach you a lot of modern literature and make you enjoy reading more. I have already started on a free modern lit book just because I got back into the habit of reading again. Also be prepared to speak about what you think, there is no need to be shy in this class, and your ideas and thoughts on the pieces you discuss are important in your sucess.
