If you are really interested in what makes literature literary, I highly recommend C. S. Lewis's An Experiment in Criticism. I stole my example from it. It is not a religious work like many of his other books, and is in fact within his professional expertise. He was, after all, a professor of English Literature at Cambridge (and at Oxford before it). It's in most bookstores. I've posted about it before, because of its novel approach to defining art--an approach that is interesting to musicians as well as writers.

And if you want to read a good book by him on education, read The Great Divorce.
