I have to perform some piece of literature for a class, and I don't know what to use.

Could be a poem, part of a play, novel, etc. Only needs to be 3 minutes long.

Any ideas?

Memorize Paradise Lost, and read that shit out loud. It'll be a lot of work of course, but trust me you will be proud as you look back on it. And besides, how will having memorized Paradise Lost not work in your favor at parties?

This.
Shit, I wish I saved those vocaroo links.
I've forgotten the name of the guy too, he does lots of dramatic readings of goofy shit.
Let me see if I can't find the links in old Facebook conversations.

I was recently at an event where someone recited "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock" from memory. It was about 7 minutes, and he only lost his place once, and then quickly picked it back up again.

So yeah, do that.
