    GED Reading: What Year?

    Posted on: Monday, January 11th, 2010 in: GED Practice Question, Inference, Reading

    What is “literature?” A lot of the time, when I think of literature, I think of old stories that I don’t have any real connection to.

    Hola, GED learners! I was just looking around on the Internet, and I came across something I never really thought about too much… how many books have been banned in different places at different times.
