Recommended Reads for May
Northern Lights
Northern Lights is an immediate classic; while entertaining and amusing in parts, Northern Lights resonates powerfully as a battle-cry for doing what is humane and right, and self-empowerment and bravery in the face of hardship. The plot is brilliant: Pullman has succeeded in making the story clear so that you can understand, but at the same time sort of hazy, and everything happens as if you were in a kind of magical dream.
Animal Farm
On the surface this seems like an enjoyable simple story about farm animals that manage to win their freedom; however, do not be fooled, it rapidly becomes a commentary about how effortlessly communities can become dictatorships. We follow the animals of Manor Farm as they set out to obtain the dream of liberty and democracy; but quickly find themselves in the middle of a nightmare of tyranny and totalitarianism. Orwell writes with a talent for making the guilty seem innocent, sucking the reader in to believe the best before hitting them with the worse.
To Kill a Mockingbird
What begins as, apparently, just an affectionate and humorous episodic tale of life in an Alabama town in the 1930s, and the personalities and quirks of the people who live there, gradually evolves into an amazing and powerful read: a compelling narrative that traverses racism, justice and the lack there of. An ultimate must-read classic
