100 Novels To Read

This list, inevitably, is somewhat arbitrary. It is intended for senior students who are looking for some guidance in selecting what to read. Many American colleges offer such a list to prospective and current students. This list includes some of these novels, but has an international thread as well as choosing from the established canon of English Literature. Reading some of these novels will introduce you to aspects of Literature that are generally familiar to many educated people. This will give you an opportunity to refer to your reading in applications and interviews. If you have a particular interest in Literature, reading from this list will suppmi you if you decide to write an Extended Essay in Literature as well as in your study of AI English. There is only one title from any individual author. You may find that, having read one, you wish to fmd another by the same author. These titles are offered as an introduction; a step on the path of lifelong reading.
