Pleasure Reading: Term 6

What to choose for Pleasure Reading?

Nothing is as good as a piece of classics. IMHO

My advice is to read a Dickens or a Dreiser, a Bronte or an Austin.

Browse the Project Gutenberg website - these writers' novels are free to download.

Charles Dickens

A Tale of Two Cities
David Copperfield
Oliver Twist
Little Dorrit

Theodore Dreiser

Sister Carrie
The Financier

John Galsworthy

The Forsyte Sage

Charlotte Bronte

Jane Eyre

Emily Bronte

Wuthering Heights

Emma
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
