The English Teacher's Random Favorites: Great Stories in Which to Lose Oneself

Our maverick English Teacher and bibliophile comes up with 40 works of fiction that create fictional worlds in which the reader may immerse him- or herself completely. Some are bona fide classics, some are great popular successes, and some are lesser known gems. All of them, however, are prime examples of the art of storytelling.
