I'm doing 3 books by Solzhenitsyn, which I guess is a bit of a task haha I'm really enjoying it though :smile:

I'm a bit of a theatre geek so plays were always a MUST!

I'm the complete opposite haha, not a big fan of plays at all. Are they religious themed ones?

Yes, though both are absolutely hilarious. I defy anyone to read either and not cry with laughter.

Hello,
I am trying to come up with a plan for my Advanced Higher English essay on birdsong and all quiet on the western front and I am really struggling! Unfortunately my teacher hasn't been the best help, so I'm not sure how to sort out my paragraphs and what to put in them. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me any help on any aspect of the dissertation as I am feeling stuck

I am doing my dissertation on how religion can control and influence and how people twist it to suit there own ideas. I already have Whit by Iain banks and The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson but I need another one that is different than those 2. Any ideas ?

If you can't think of a third you could always just do two texts?

Thinking of Les Mis and Dorian Gray, looking at maybe the duality of man as portrayed by the two protagonists and how their fate is determined by influence from other characters comparing the road to redemption and the descent into sin. Not sure how I'd word the question, but at least I have a line of thought for now:')
