So basically my English teacher (10th grade) is requiring us to read 400 pages a trimester. Before this is didn't really read. So we're not far in and I'm reading 1984, I'm on the start of part 2 and it's getting pretty good so I'm kinda liking the whole reading thing. Anyway it's like 295 pages in all but I can't log pages halfway through a book so I need a roughly 105-120 page book to finish the quota.
The big thing i really like in 1984 is the world building. Apparently there's some deep meaning behind it but I'm too busy being sucked into Oceania to notice. The whole society and how Jorjor well describes it is really interesting to read, and with part two ramping things up I'm really enjoying it. Some other books I liked are Fahrenheit 451, for similar reasons and the meaning is also quite obvious and reflects our society alot
I also like the outsiders, Percy Jackson when I was a lot younger, so generally world building things that make me think but I don't have to think too much to get it. Also I already read animal farm and wasn't a huge fan. I really liked 1000 leagues under the sea until they just kept yapping about boring marine life or something, so I stopped reading, so that might help
Any recommendations are appreciated. I think after I read a 105 page book I'm gonna check out Tolkiens stuff maybe
