wintergirl got a reaction from Two Espressos in A non-application-related treat for my fellow bibliophiles...
So cool: http://community.thisiscentralstation.com/_Mysterious-paper-sculptures/blog/4991767/126249.html
These are magical. They make me feel like a kid again and remind why I want to get a PhD in literature...
LONG LIVE THE BOOK.

wintergirl got a reaction from Grunty DaGnome in 0% Confidence of Acceptance
TripWillis, I like the cut of your jib.
As for me, if there were also a thread on this board titled "Hell yes, I'm getting into school X because I'm a GENIUS!!!!!!!111!!!1", then I would likely spend my day flip flopping between them every hour, on the hour.
Today was a knockout round, and it ain't half over yet. At one point after my thesis proposal defense meeting I found myself inexplicably in tears and asking my adviser (and director of my MA program) to lie to tell me I was going to get in somewhere.
I ain't proud, y'all.

wintergirl got a reaction from charliemarlow in English Subject Test Questions
Use the Princeton Review book: http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Literature-English-Graduate-Preparation/dp/0375429719.
Skim the Norton British lit anthologies. (I wouldn't even bother with the American, there's so little of it.)
For theory, try something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Literary-Theory-Basics-Hans-Bertens/dp/0415396719/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322530228&sr=1-2-fkmr0
Read previous posts about this fall's torture session test.
Pray.
Sharpen your pencils.
Trust no one.
