As an English Literature student you would think i might get fed up of reading but I have been thinking about all the must read books I have on MY reading list, not uni but all for me. Due to the amount of reading to be done for uni, I don't get much time for what I call social reading.
Along with an Olympian's autobiography or 2, the mix of genre's on my list is so widespread it will take me a lifetime to get through them all. I won't be able to fit them all in one post but will condense it in to a pocket size digest that i am hoping to work my way through within the next 6 months.
1. Crimson Petal and the white - Michael Faber
2. The Thirty-Nine Steps - John Buchan
3. Othello - William Shakespeare
4. Story Of O - Pauline Reage
5. The Importance of Being Earnest - Oscar Wilde
6. Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray
7. Middlemarch - George Elliot
8. 1984 - George Orwell
9. The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald
10. The Quantum Universe - Professor Brian Cox
My current university read is the rather enchanting Pride and Prejudice. I truly don't know why i haven't read this before! Mr Darcy and I have finally been acquainted and I'm loving every word of it. I have never been in to reading Jane Austen novels until now but I think I might be hooked!
