  2. I would LOVE to take this class! I haven't read any of these books so it would be so eye opening for me. Too bad these courses aren't real, right? Ha. Great list!

  11. Um, YES TO UPROOTED. That'd be a fun one to teach. And I'm glad to see Ursula LeGuin and Mary Stewart make your list - particularly LeGuin! Hers were some of the first fantasy books I remember reading as a child.
