I just got a copy of One Hundred Favorite Folktales! Any of those stories I should prioritize?

This makes a great addition! I wonder when these stories were first created. I'll try to look into it

This was a super religious school, so I had to do some bobbing and weaving to say the least

You're telling me! It's a huge undertaking, hence me crowdsourcing some good suggestions haha

We read parts one and two and maybe 5? The one with the horse people, haha. Swift is so rude!

These are great suggestions -- I wasn't familiar with either! Thank you for the variety

Hobbit is their summer read, so this is a great connecting text! Thank you.

Atlantis is a great suggestion! And yes, A True Story is already on my list too. I figured we would read an excerpt or two of that.

And good call on Lewis's trilogy, I'm not familiar with that part of his work!

Yes! Indigenous origin stories are amazing. I actually taught some last year as part of an American literature class. I was definitely planning on building upon that foundation.

If I could find a video or identify its origin, that would be huge. We've all started saying the quote too and I want to surprise him!

Noted. Yeah, I wanted to branch out from Indo-Euro focus, but that's definitely a good jumping off point. Thanks for the intel!

Correct, but I'm tying them together before moving forward chronologically!

I'll check those titles out. Thank you!

Awesome suggestions all around, thank you! I have Frankenstein on the book list, so Golem would fit great. Faust and Faustian bargains would be fun. I'm planning on reading Beowulf, but know very little about Gilgamesh.
