Really, now I'm interested, this is my area of expertise. Which books are you reading?

Okay, so here's my required reading list from school (there may be a couple missing, but I honestly don't remember a lot of my english classes up till year 12 for some reason...):
Year 9 (8th Grade I think):
The Pearl by John Steinbeck
Year 10 (9th Grade):
Playing Beatie Bow by Ruth Park
Year 11 (10th Grade):
Krystyna's Story by Helena Oganowska-Coates
Year 12 (11th Grade):
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Year 13 (12th Grade):
The Crucible by Arthur Miller
King Lear by William Shakespeare
Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones (Assigned but I never read it)
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (Assigned to my [then] girlfriend's class, but I read it anyway)

The Handmaid's Tale is very good. Another you might want to read is Oryx And Crake by the same author.

In New Zealand, the required reading curriculum varies with whatever school you attend - it's all very weird to me. The teacher chooses the books and topics from a list.

Ah. I think for us it changed with the teacher due to the funding our school got. We rarely had an entire set of one book for all the english students in our year to read at the same time, plus teachers chose to teach what they were comfortable with.

Okay. I'm glad to see this thread hasn't died. I'm -almost- done with the book I'm reading, but with my new job I haven't had time to finish it.

First off, my admiration, tinuviel, on that impressive list of yours. If I had to make a list of my reading since my school days I'd have no idea where to begin.

I don't get to read books much any more, to be honest. The writing course I'm doing is very much focused on short stories, and we have to study them in order to learn proper writing technique, so novels are mostly out. Also, they're all hooked on this 'literary fiction' lark, so the genre fiction (sci-fi and fantasy, for the curious) that I read is similarly out.

That said, being the fastest reader in the West blaugh , I make time to read novels in my own time, the most notable of which lately has been the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden, which I finished... must have been last night, I think. Most enjoyable, I must say, despite having read them in completely the wrong order. I don't know whether I liked them because, generally speaking, I fangirl most Roman/Spartan things, but it certainly kept me engaged to witness the inevitable ending (Julius Caesar's assassination, for the un-historically-minded).

Before that, it was Nation, the latest piece from the pen of Terry Pratchett, my official Favourite Author Ever. You don't want to hear my opinion on that, because I'd just gush for a couple of pages and it'd get a bit embarrassing. Sufficed to say, the bf (who got it me for Valentine's) was in receipt of many kisses after I was done.

Right now I've moved on to Orcs, a compilation of a couple of novels by Stan Nichols. It's been sitting on the bf's shelf for months, ignored in favour of... well, just about everything else, but now I've ran out of things to read, and it's hefty enough to keep me occupied for a couple of days. So far, gratuitous sex and violence are kind of off-putting, but there's a semblance of an interesting plot, and it's an original spin to put on the traditional fantasy view of orcs.
