I have always found that reading is the most ultimate form of escape, for this reason I have compiled a booklist which I shall attempt to read this year. Some classics may be slightly ambitious, but I think each story teaches me something and I want to experience what these books have to offer. If anyone has previously read any of these books, I would love to hear your opinion on them.
- The Catcher in The Rye - J.D Salinger
- Down and Out in Paris and London - George Orwell
- Doctor Zhivago - Boris Pasternak
- Lord Of the Flies - William Golding
- Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
- Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins
- War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
- 1984 - George Orwell
- The Perks of being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
- The Beautiful and the Damned - Scott Fitzgerald
- Michael Morpurgo Box Set
- When God was a Rabbit - Sarah Winman
- Any Human Heart - William Boyd
- And Then there were None - Agatha Christie
Good choice of books! I've read quite a few of them, and they're all definitely books I'd recommend. Not so sure I'd even attempt War and Peace though - far too many pages!

oh and I forgot to say, The Catcher In The Rye, and Lord of the Flies are my two favourite books - definitely read them next on the list!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the recomendations, will be sure to read them next, as for War and Peace, I think might be too adventurous for now. Meena x
