The Bible 1984 by George Orwell 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 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 To Kill A Mockingbird is a great book. It's not always enjoyable in a sense that the racism is just disturbing for me. But it is a great book and very worth the read. It's one of those books that makes me feel like I'm in it and I'm experiencing the same thing as the characters. And it's even more interesting but also sort of ironic at the same time because the story is told from a child's point of view which is so simple. It's like, if you see it from her point of view, the solutions to the problems seem so simple and yet you know that life is never that simple. I'm starting to babbling nonsense again, haha. I definitely recommend the book, though (it's not like anyone hasn't read it either). Current book : Wuthering Heights. |
