Essential Reads Pack x 6 Pack

Six of the all-time essentials. Do those lists of 100 Books to Read Before You Die sound like a bit of a tall order? (And rather expensive, too?) Not to worry: here are six books to read before you die, or do whatever you want to do next in life. Incredible stories that take you way back into the past – or in the case of George Orwell’s classic 1984, way forward into a chilling dystopian future. Now if you’re hit by a bus tomorrow, at least you can die happy. And if you fancy studying English at A-level one day, you’ve made a really good head start.

• Six fantastic classics – mandatory reading for every book-lover

• A mix of best-loved teen classics and powerful adult masterworks

• Authors such as Harper Lee, George Orwell and Thomas Hardy

• Thought-provoking fiction about racism, war and oppression
