Reading is fun and also broadens the mind. Therefore the focus in this course will be on reading English fiction, from brandnew to classical novels (mainly young adult literature). We'll deal with plots, characters, narrative techniques and we'll also discuss various current issues that come up in the books.

Students will be involved in the choice of books that will be read.
