I use to read a lot, but after starting university, it has declined.
Favourite authors - I don't really know, i randomly pick books and read them, don't really follow an author.
but my grade 12 reading list was awesome - i loved it. i read some great books in high school, which is really odd, because most of the times, those books are not student friendly.. :P

I'd love to know some of the books on your reading list - I remember reading the best books in high school and in college too. but yea, when you're in school, reading for fun is not possible too much.

thanks for your answers though:)

i should totally go back to high school and ask my teacher for some books :P
We read alot (grrr IB) Tempest, Odyssey, Hamlet, The House of Spirits, Like Water for Chocolate, Jane Eyre, Swann, in the Skin of a Lion, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, One Hundred Years of Solitude and Fifth Business. On top of all this, we had poetry *yay* (Sylvia Plath, William Butler Yeats and Robert Frost)

From all these books, i would totally rec One day.. and House of Spirits

I've read some Shakespeare - Merchant of Venice and As YOu Like It are the ones that stand out. The Odyssey I read in college. Ivan Denisovich - who wrote that one? I remember that title and even think I read it long long ago! How was House of Spirits?

that's some great literature there!

Yea, all the books were ggreat, i actually didnt read The Odyssey ~ it was kind of boring for me. Denisovich was written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I actually liked The house of spirits - a lot of students didnt - because its different - it has magic realism - and it was the first book we read like it, so it was like 'well this book makes no sense' ~ but i like all the crazy stuff that happend, so its a good read, you should give it a try!
Its a very well written book to bring in historical events, family, relationships, politics and romance ~ together with magic realism - it was really good.
