Summer Reading List

4 Comments »

I’ve been planning this list since my exams started in May. I remember sitting at my desk with my textbooks strewn across the floor, wistfully wishing I could read some books I actually enjoy *sighs* Now I’ve finished all my exams (:D) and am eagerly waiting for results, I’ve started The List, which will probably take a lot longer than one summer if I’m honest.

I’ve recently gone through a sort of “Reading Renaissance” where I stopped reading teen books and Harry Potter and started reading entirely different book genres. Mainly they’ve been sci-fi and physics books. So far this summer I have read 1984 by George Orwell, Why Does E=mc^2 by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking and a couple of Agatha Christie books. I’d recommend all of them :D

Anyway, this is my Summer Reading list. I’ve got loads more books I want to read other than these which I’m making a new page for in my About section, it’ll be up soon (maybe after I’m back from holiday).

• Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (currently reading)
• Lots of Poirot books by Agatha Christie
• Animal Farm by George Orwell
• War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
• Carrie by Stephen King
• Elizabeth by David Starkey (this ones for school- I’m starting A Level History in September)
• I am Legend by Richard Matheson

Has anybody read these? Were they good?
