allergictoalliteration Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 There are some books I found recurring at first glance. House of the Spirits? A Streetcar Named Desire? Brave New World? The Handmaid's Tale?I haven't read any of them. I was just curious about why these books seem to be so popular. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikko Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Every single novel we read in our Finnish and English Literature courses was interesting but there were a few that have really stuck with me all these years: Aino Kallas - Sudenmorsian (a werewolf story)Ariel Dorfman: Death and the MaidenMaya Angelou- I Know Why The Caged Bird SingsWilliam Golding - Lord of the Flies Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoughtlessaxiom Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink is absolutely the best book I've read. Great deviation from my GCSE lit books (no matter how hard I try I will never like OMAM or Animal Farm). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleen Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 The Great Gatsby was the best book I ever read. The character development was amazing, and although our class probably over-analyzed the symbolism, I loved the book nonetheless. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatokim Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Les Miserables, abridged version for Viet Lit. For English it seems I won't be enjoying any of the books. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollister627 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I did 'The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea' by Mishima for my World Lit essay. Definitely one of my all time favorites Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinamontinola Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Alchemist by Paul Coelho and The Power of Place by Harm de Blij were two books I really liked, mostly for their philosophical factors. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothlife Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende was really good! It was a bit slow in the beginnning but it definitely picks up and I enjoyed it a lot. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
