FAVOURITE BOOK: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
WHY: I read this a while ago and the story has stuck with me ever since. It was so memorable and compelling. I think The Outsiders is a perfect coming of age novel, with loss of innocence as one of the major themes. I would highly recommend this book as it is beautifully written and an interesting story.

FAVOURITE BOOK: 1984 by George Orwell
WHY: For risk of sounding like a pretentious you-know-what, I would state that 1984 is my absolute favourite book. Every time I read it I notice something different, it is just so impressive and such a wonderful, yet terrifying novel. If you haven’t read it, I would implore you to, as it is thoroughly excellent.
