Admittedly, selection of literature is a subjective exercise. However, many of the texts have been used in the classroom by Bob Watson and Dori Anne Abbott. These works tend to hold the attention and imagination of students. The primary criterion is to find works of literature that reflected our overall philosophy, being that reading literature ought to be a delight, and not a boring exercise of senseless memorization of facts for objective tests. We have excluded postmodernist works for two reasons: first, these works are too recent to be considered "classical," and second, and more important, postmodernism offers no answers and no hope in a sin-cursed world. True literature, as is true with all art, is to elevate and to enrich the soul, not to cause the soul to utterly despair.
