i'm in the last year of a-levels and this summer i want to read books from other curriculums, esp from other countries
for me it was 'never let me go' by Kazuo Ishiguro. it was very thought provoking and the use of setting was amazing. some chapters were awkward and funny to read in class but that was the whole point. i'm getting round to a re-read but i know i'm going to start crying, kathy is wise considering her small world view.
an honourable mention is the script of 'a streetcar named desire'. i hate stanley with a passion

A long time ago for me and probably a bit of a cliche but I really loved Of Mice and Men – in fact, it’s the only book I’ve ever read twice!
Cat’s Cradle – Vonnegut
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks and the Regeneration trilogy by Pat Barker. Also Face by Benjamin Zephaniah.
“The Temptation of Saint Antony” by Flaubert.
I’m danish
Kick me in the traditions by Leif Panduro is sort of the danish version of catcher in the rye.
When it come to my favorite from english it might be
Equus by Peter Shafer
The Giver by Lois Lowry
Hamlet if you count plays + never let me go by kazuo ishiguro (just noticed this was mentioned lol)
