Oh that's awesome! So you're starting AS this coming year then? Do you know which exam board you are for English Lit? I could possibly give you some notes if you do similar books, as in English Lit AS I got 119/120 (I was NOT expecting it though!).
I haven't actually, although I've definitely got it on my shelf, rn I'm spending my life reading books on English Language and Linguistics in prep for PS writing aah! Now you've said that, I'm trying to think what my favourite book is... I really like Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut, Brave New World and We, DH Lawrence is solid in his short stories but I've not made it through Sons and Lovers yet... Gatsby is my favourite novel we've studied in class; I wasn't enamoured by it reading it in my own time, but analysing it is pretty eye opening - I got 30/30 in my AS Gatsby essay so clearly the examiners agreed with my views on Daisy as criminally underrated!
Seriously, I could talk about (some aspects of) literature ALL DAY, especially if it includes the language and linguistic aspects!
