Favourite GCSE books?
 
What books did you enjoy reading the most during GCSE English? To Kill A Mockingbird? An Inspector Calls? Pride and Prejudice ... etc?

Munchkins 22-11-2012 06:50 PM

None tbh, studied 3 and got an A* but i didn't enjoy them aha, enjoying the books at AS though

MTVN 22-11-2012 06:52 PM

Can only really remember Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha and that was ok but not great. Enjoyed Northanger Abbey & For Whom the Bell Tolls for A Level though

Gstar 22-11-2012 07:01 PM

An Inspector Calls and Of Mice and Men :love:

Munchkins 22-11-2012 07:03 PM

Mhm i did An Inspector calls, Mice and Men and Animal Farm

At GCSE we did Of Mice And Men which I hated. I enjoyed some of the books at AS ENglish though. :)

Jarrod 22-11-2012 08:39 PM

We've only done Of Mice And Men so far. We've got An Inspector Calls and Heroes to do.

Niall 22-11-2012 08:45 PM

We did Frankenstein and Of Mice and Men. I didn't like Frankenstein that much at all, but I like Of Mice and Men a lot.

Shaun 22-11-2012 09:06 PM

We did Macbeth, Lord of the Flies and some poetry... didn't really study anything substantial until A Level, where we did Howards End, Hard Times, Translations, Henry V and some play about Aborigines and convicts in Australia that I forget the name of.

Liked all of them really except Hard Times.

Marsh. 22-11-2012 09:08 PM

I liked Of Mice and Men.

Ninastar 22-11-2012 09:13 PM

did anyone read the play a view from the bridge? I really liked it

Shaun 22-11-2012 09:17 PM

Our Country's Good! that was the name of the play.

Me. I Am Salman 22-11-2012 09:17 PM

We did Of Mice & Men in Yr 9, An Inspector Calls in Year 10 and Great Expectations & Macbeth in Yr 11, for English Lang and English Lit

For A-Level, Catcher In The Rye & The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Catcher In The Rye :love:

I did Romeo and Juliet in Year 10, was in the third set and the top two got jealous because they had to do the hardest one which was Much Ado About Nothing:devil:.

Jamie585 22-11-2012 11:22 PM

We read Of mice and Men

King Gizzard 22-11-2012 11:23 PM

Don't think we read any, only had an ''anthology'' full of loads of stupid poems


''what does it mean to be ...HALF CAST standing on one leg'' blah blah blah

Yeah I did that and thought it was really good too. Did another of his plays, Broken Glass, at a level and that was pretty good as well

Harry! 23-11-2012 06:45 PM

Oh I did do Macbeth for my Shakespeare English coursework, and we studied Blood Brothers for our modern day play coursework.

Doogle 23-11-2012 06:54 PM

We did Maya Angelou's "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" which I thoroughly enjoyed reading and studying, for our year 10 exam, and then Macbeth for a controlled assessment. This year we're doing Lord of the Flies, which I love too.

Kizzy 23-11-2012 07:22 PM

We studied Roald Dahls dark short stories,'The landlady', 'Lamb to the slaughter' and others...they were just brilliant.

Jarrod 23-11-2012 07:41 PM

Oh and we've done Romeo and Juliet for a Coursework piece.

Jamie. 24-11-2012 04:44 PM

I remember doing "Private Peaceful" in Year 9 and this year (10) I am doing Of Mice and Men in January! :D

Jake. 24-11-2012 04:59 PM
