My reading list for prelim adv. eng.... Any suggestions?

 

[calslut]

i have one, do something fun instead

 

[dorian]

Oh yes, War and Peace, Crime and Punishment and Eugene Onegin are all excellent. Let me have a think for suggestions though. I read a whole bunch of the 'classics' when I was 14 or 15. There's a lot of crap in there and I would strongly suggest you stay away from Balzac.

The Brothers Karamazov
Notes from Underground
Down and Out in Paris and London
The Collected Essays, Letters and Journalism of George Orwell (four volumes of the stuff )
Brideshead Revisited
Decline and Fall
A Clockwork Orange
Lolita
Germinal
Nana
I, Claudius
Picture of Dorian Gray

Those are my favourites out of the forty or so novels I read at the age of 14. I had a lot of spare time that year.

 

[dpospination]

if u wanna read good stuff, read John Le Carre's novels, they are brilliant

 

[Aerath]

Especially The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. My favourite book.
