I love reading. Good reads are what keep me going on in shitty days. Graphic novels, mangas, novels, magazines, fanfictions, I read them all. For fan fictions, I'm reading mostly SasuNaru fanfictions nowadays. Others fanfictions I read are Harry Potter, Hikaru No Go, Final Fantasy and DBSK (although I haven't read a lot of Yunjae's fanfictions lately). There are actually a lot of good fanfictions out there. Anyway, here's a list of 30 books that British' librarians claim as must-reads : To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The Bible The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien 1984 by George Orwell A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen All Quite on the Western Front by E M Remarque His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon Tess of the D'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell Great Expectations by Charles Dickens The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold The Prophet by Khalil Gibran David Copperfield by Charles Dickens The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov Life of Pi by Yann Martel Middlemarch by George Eliot The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzenhitsyn This list is from 2006 actually but it's okay because books are timeless and I haven't read most of the books in the list, as you can see (more like none actually). I'll try to read 30 of them asap, haha. I actually read Pride and Prejudice, I just haven't finished it :p |
