Indeed, the list contains a great number of works and authors that are not currently taught at Rutgers at either the graduate or undergraduate level.
The following list is, accordingly, an attempt to reconstruct the English comprehensive reading list used at one eastern liberal arts college (Dartmouth) between the 1940s and the mid-1960s, the specific purpose of which was to guide reading for senior comprehensive examinations.
That list, one now realizes, reflected what must have been an agreement within the department to cut things off at the end of the 1930s, probably because the English faculty thought it too difficult to say which post-World War II writers and works would turn out to have lasting importance.

Off the list this year, but on the list for several years past, are the Alice series of books by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, "Go Ask Alice" by Anonymous, "It's Perfectly Normal" by Robie Harris and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain.

 TCS Daily - The Iraq -- Al Qaeda Connections
Bin Laden regards the U.S. as guilty of war crimes against Iraqis and believes that non-Muslims shouldn't have military bases on the holy sands of Arabia.
The Iraqis, who had the Third World's largest poison-gas operations prior to the Gulf War I, have perfected the technique of making hydrogen-cyanide gas, which the Nazis called Zyklon-B. In the hands of al Qaeda, this would be a fearsome weapon in an enclosed space -- like a suburban mall or subway station.

 Library of America: Various authors: Civil War Memoirs: Boxed Set of W. T. Sherman & Ulysses S. Grant
Grant's memoirs are as plain as the man who wrote them, while Sherman's are full of the fire and panache you would expect from a Union general who struck terror into the heart of Washington as well as Richmondý The two sets of memoirs share common excellence.
The new Library of America editions of these two classic Civil War memoirs are excellently done with annotations and illustrations, and, in Grant's case, with the inclusion of 175 letters written by the general.
Grant's book is guarded and even-toned, reticent or dispassionate about himself, generous with rivals, silent about his critics, and respectfulýif not invariably fairýtoward "the enemy." William Tecumseh Sherman ("Cump" to his family) is offhand, forthright, outspoken, and intensely personal; he has a flair for action narrative.
