George Orwell’s great. Hurston and Nabokov are all right too. Aren’t White’s books a little young? I know he wrote Stuart Little and Charlotte’s Web, I don’t know about his others. I wouldn’t read Woolf.
G. B. Shaw is ‘wise-guy’ enough to appeal to a 16 year old.You won’t ‘get’ all his depth till you’re older, but you’ll find enough for a pretty deep essay, and enjoy yourself on the way.
I’ve loved everything I read by Margaret Atwood. I also liked Joyce Carol Oates’ “The Grave Digger’s Daughter.”I love EB White’s books “The Trumpet of the Swan” and “Charlotte’s Web”, but they’re books aimed at younger children primarily. Still have interesting imagery, foreshadowing, etc that you could write an essay about.
From the list… really the only thing i would suggest is Ralph Waldo Emerson. His type of literature is the only on the list that really would interest me, or in my opinion, any 16 yo. E.B. White is good too… but a little to… i dont know, childish?
George Orwell is amazing. Go with either 1984 or Animal Farm. Both wonderful, quick reads.
