Reading over the holidays is essential. Our advice is that you read away from your examination texts and instead choose from the list above or from other sources of your choice. The key is to read regularly and critically. Write about what you read too. Research the author a little and perhaps read another work by them. Vary your diet. Plays and Poetry, although not listed above, will interest you in different ways. Vary the historical context of your reading and read in translation as well. GET READING AND ENJOY YOURSELF.
