    I studied:

    Of Mice and Men (which for the CA we had to do settings, and everyone else did characters, which sounded more interesting and easier -.-)

    An Inspector Calls (doing it now)

    Romeo and Juliet

    The Farmer's Bride (it's a poem but, oh well), which is what I based my creative writing CA on

    Wuthering Heights

    I probably enjoyed WH the most.

    Of Mice and Men, Frankenstein, The Crucible and The Merchant of Venice. Of Mice and Men was the only one I liked.

    To Kill A Mockingbird and An Inspector Calls. To this day, TKAM remains quite possibly my favourite book

    We did Heroes, An Inspector Calls and Of Mice And Men.

    I wish we could have done Never Let Me Go though, so much better than Heroes.
