English Literature 2010 at Warwick

Good idea. Odds are there are a few Warwick English lit freshers on here (I'm one of them - hi!). Hopefully they'll find this thread now that the agonising wait is over.

Anyway, ta for starting the thread. I'll start with a minor complaint: I can't believe there's no freshers' week! D:

I thought freshers week was from 4th October - 9th October..something like that...

No Freshers week ?!???! I never knew that, I just went on the website and apparently last year had a Freshers Fortnight.

If we don't have at least a week it will be very unjust!

I'm studying English Lit too! Excited, but the reading list scares me slightly ha, and yes it's really confusing cos there seems to be so many books to read/buy when you look at the English Department site. Where to start!?

At the moment Warwick don't have a Freshers Week, rather a Freshers Fortnight. From 2011 it is likely a Fresher Week will be implemented.

By Freshers Week, we usually define it as a week before the lectures start (which Warwick don't have). The Freshers Fortnight coincides with the fortnight of introductory lectures.

The SU will send you some marketing material next month - it will have all the details about the Freshers Fairs/taster sessions, but here's what's going on at night:

all that effort and nobody cares.

Hey I'll be studying English and Creative Writing. So excited! As for the reading list, I have no clue. Oh dear..

Has anyone started the reading list? I'm slightly confused, as to where it is, what books we should be reading. Do you choose the modules you want to study, then start your reading based on that module? Any help would be appreciated..

I'll also be doing English Literature and Creative Writing! Started reading The Cambridge Introduction to Creative Writing, but that's it...

I'm doing Lit and CW too, and the book list is freaking me out!
I've spent £105 so far, am about to spend another £150, and will need to spend more after that. This is ridiculous - surely we're missing something? 39 books for one year? I had to sell a load of xbox games to cover some of it. It'll be the TV next ;_; and physics dept is only asking for one £40 book.

Hello. I'm also going to do English Literature and Creative Writing at Warwick. Could you please tell me where the reading list for 2010 is on the internet? I have most of the books for 2009, but I can't find the 2010 list.
