Brenda Wijaya Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 if this is is to be integrated with the literature in IB and is just for light reading, "Woman at point zero" is pretty good. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz Liszt Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Twilight and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!haha, jkSome good books i've been reading recently include Conrad's Heart of Darkness, All Quiet on the Western Front and Verne's From the Earth to the Moon.

Sandwich Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 My favourite 'literary' books would probably be The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and The Magus by John Fowles.In terms of books to read just because you love reading, if you don't mind a bit of fantasy, all of the trilogies by Robin Hobb are un-put-downable, brilliant stories. I think they're the books I get the most happiness from reading! If you can get completely captured by a good fantasy novel, I personally find that the most satisfying genre to just sit down and chill out with.I suppose I have plenty of suggestions but it really depends on what sort of stuff you like to read. Science books, fantasy, science-fiction, bog standard fiction, satirical, factual, autobiographies, crime, horror, thrillers, romance novels... what floats your boat? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBidiot Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I second Woman at Point Zero... its fantastic. I also love Frankenstein as well Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikita K Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Unwind by Neal Shusterman. I'm just finishing it now, and though the language isn't so challenging, the plot, characters and whole concept is truly amazing. Also, I'm in love with Markus Zusak ever since I read the Book Thief. A book everyone should read before they die. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flinquinnster Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Personally, I love Harry Potter even though I hate fantasy in general. I'm also quite impressed with Stephen Fry, Ian McEwan (though not with some of his newer stuff!) and Virginia Woolf in terms of modern authors. I have to say though my passion is for Austen, Bronte and Sherlock Holmes. There have probably been more books I've been impressed with, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmi Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is the best book I've ever read. Also, it's only like 100 pages long Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaby Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 The Godfather, Mario Puzo. I could read it over and over again. I'm reading The Age of Innocence now, I find it weirdly entertaining, despite the fact that nothing much is happening. Though I only read 20% of it, so it's hard to judge.

Ms.Blackford Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm probably a bit messed up bacause of the IB literature, but I do find The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wild really, really good. I've read it three times, It's somewhat deep and twisted, but I love it! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
