I’ve recently gotten back into reading in a way that I’ve wanted to for a long time and I’m working through a book a week. I’ve been reading a lot of classics and have fallen in love with Hemingway. My other favourites are Vonnegut (for the satire) and Orwell (for the politics).
However, most of the classics that I’m gravitating to are written by men and I want to expand my horizons. What are some great novels written by women that a boy would enjoy so I can broaden my horizons?
I often read two books at a time, switching back and forth, and I’m planning to read The Secret History. What is the other that I should read?
