Recommended Reading List

Hello everyone! Holidays are here and what better way then to spend them reading useful books to widen your knowledge on Literature and hone your linguistic skills? Do consider reading any of the following below. If you would like to try something more advance (they are interesting, really), try the last segment. You will be bound to love these books!

Specifically for my sec 2s, I hope your play is progressing smoothly. We will try to keep Shakespeare simplified and easy to digest. Just perhaps 2 intensive sessions!
