Literature Major?

I am a post graduate in English Literature and I am past middle age. I finished my M.A.in the year 1978 and I recall my college days with great fondness and nostalgia. I read Romance novels[both English and Tamil]with great fervour .I also love historical novels in my regional language .I have read a select few stories of P.G.Wodehouse. Mills and Boon novels are my all time favourite. As far as aS literature goes I have a great partiality for Nature Poetry, Shakespeare's plays and wit and humour. I love fairy tales , mythology, small religious stories, fables and Panchathanthra stories. I love to read some regular Tamil magazines and I also love chatting[however , this has nothing to do with my subject and this is just additional information.] Why did I decide to pick literature as my major?--for the silly reason that my friends had all opted for this,the valid reason that I had taken Mathematics , Physics and Chemistry in my Pre University course and I did not fancy these, for the most legitimate reason that I always stood first in English and won a gold medal in this [with a creditable first University rank --topper among thousands of candidates]

Hi. I am an English major. But we do have literature subject when I am studying. I really love reading books that sometimes I tend to forgot to have my meal especially when I am reading books that is vey interesting to read. I love reading different kinds of genre. I really love indian literature, actually I wished to visit India because of their rich culture which is very transparent with there literature. I already finished my studies in college and if given a chance, I would like to take my masteral and go ahead for literature to be my major.:-) Happy mylotting!

I was an English and German major, read a lot of literature, but was more into the linguistics side of things. I enjoyed reading a lot of the things that were assigned but I pretty much had no use for literary analysis. I just enjoyed reading for the readin.

I am an English major and we tackle a lot on literature in our studies. We studied Philippine, English, American, and Afro-Asian literature. I truly enjoyed our class in our literature subjects.From those different works, I discovered the beauties of life and sometimes it's irony also.What makes me love literature is also my inclination in reading.I learned a lot on reading those different stories like the cultures and the way of living of different people.Literature helps me in philosophizing about life also. I can say that it is really a mirror of one's country.
