Oh no, I meant that some of those books were assigned to my English literature classes. I hadn’t added them until the last second as I wasn’t sure regarding which books.

A Man of the People - Chinua Achebe
The Brothers Karamazov – Fyodor Dostoevsky
Crime and Punishment – Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Eternal Husband and other stories – Fyodor Dostoevsky
For Whom the Bell Tolls – Ernest Hemingway
Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania – Erik Larson
The Horse Dealer’s Daughter - D.H. Lawrence
Moby Dick – Herman Melville
The Bell Tower - Herman Melville
The Encantadas - Herman Melville
The Piazza - Herman Melville
The Road Back – Erich Maria Remarque
War and Peace – Leo Tolstoy
Fathers and Sons –Ivan Turgenev
Cat’s Cradle – Kurt Vonnegut
The Sirens of Titan - Kurt Vonnegut
Jailbird – Kurt Vonnegut
Player Piano – Kurt Vonnegut
A People’s History of The United States – Howard Zinn

That’s an excised and extended list.
I feel I have an apt representation of genres. There is science fiction and satire in Vonnegut. Non-fiction in Larson and Zinn. Historical fiction in Jailbird, War and Peace, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and The Road Back. Philosophical fiction in The Brothers Karamazov and Fathers and Sons. Much of my literature is influenced by my appreciation for history.

However, don’t take my aforementioned comments as me not accepting your criticism. I’m not anywhere near set in stone with this supplemental essay yet. And I don’t intend to use every one of these books if there is a way to relay a certain facet of myself in a list.
