Reading List
Students in LST, whether beginning, advanced, or graduating, often ask us for a reading
list for the summer. We thought we would give you a few ideas to start with. Look
up these titles and read the ones that interest you. We do not expect you to have
read and studied these books prior to becoming a major in LST or in order to do well
in our classes! This list is JUST FOR FUN, for those who find reading to be a pleasure.
We have attempted not to include books we routinely teach in our courses. However,
some of these will appear on our syllabi from time to time. These are not in any order
at all.
If you purchase books from this list from Amazon using the links below, LST will earn
a portion of the proceeds! It's a great way to support the program while building
your LST library.
If you have a suggestion of a book you would like to see added to the list, please
send it along to Renee Heberle. Next: The LST Movie List!
