Do you listen to the Teaching Company?

[...] "Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition", with several literature profs. The last is very long, and one might say it is too broad to be very deep. It's a decent introduction, but it gives only half an hour to each literary figure (except for one or two, such as Shakespeare, who get two lectures), so I really wouldn't recommend it. [...]

I bought the "Classics of Russian Literature" lecture series which was a decent introduction to Russian Literature. I didn't think it was too broad (it spent 5-6 lectures on Dostoevsky, the same for Tolstoy, 3 or so for Pushkin, and probably at least two on others). I have been contemplating buying a broader course, but now I don't think I will.

Ooh, that sounds nice. I've thought about getting the Russian one. Perhaps I will; it sounds much better than the longer one.

That is a very cool site,thanks for posting it.

I wish I could purchase some of those,but it is a little bit expensive for my funds.

I'm just a broke college student.

No problem.

As for the money situation: have you ever tried randomly asking people for money (in small amounts so as not to be suspicious)? You'd be surprised at how well it works. I made $3 today. I'm a horrible person.

I tried that when I was about 15 at the mall,and all I got was awkward stares.

I used to watch the Shakespeare lectures religiously. Peter Saccio rocks my world.

Oh, well I narrow my audience to those I know (and the people hanging around them at the time).
