Why would you read 6 books at the same time, with little variety in form and difficulty? I never understood how people can do that without it detracting from your reading experience. You don't watch 6 films at once, swapping from dvd to dvd after 20 minutes of each.

For some reason we're reading the coursework and examined texts at the same time with a different teacher for each one.

I'm in A2, but Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea are from the AS exam that i'm retaking (four marks off an A! :mad:

).

Nineteen Eighty-Four is wider reading to relate to Oryx and Crake.
