What books did you read in IB English, and which were your favorites?


Recommended Posts

In my first year we read Persepolis (I think that's how you spell it), Catcher in the Rye, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Hamlet, and Things Fall Apart. That year my favorite was either Hamlet or Catcher. And this year we're reading Oedipus the King (AKA Oedipus Rex), The Stranger, The Metamorphosis, Othello, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, The Importance of Being Earnest, and Fences. I really enjoyed the comedy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and I'm a big fan of Albert Camus' philosophy and his view on absurdism and existentialism so I quiet enjoyed The Stranger as well even if I found it a bit of a boring read. 

 

Edit: I should say that I didn't actually read Othello or The Metamorphosis. I just pretended that I did. And we haven't read The Importance of Being Earnest or Fences yet.
