All the Pretty Horses

Heathwood English faculty tackle books (often ones we've assigned) and discuss why we keep re-reading and teaching them. High-level literary analysis may happen, but more than anything we want to capture what makes these books exciting to read. We hope this will either inspire you to pick up a given tome, or re-visit something you thought you read closely.
