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 will deal with plots, characters, narrative techniques and will also discuss various current issues that come up in the books.

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