I've just read Roar by Cecilia Ahern. I am not usually 'into' short stories (don't tell my students that as I make them read them!), however, this book is brilliant. Each of the stories is based on a metaphor - very cleverly written.
I've also recently read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It's really aimed at teenagers but is really really good - gives a fab insight into an autistic teenager.
I've also read 1984 (for about the 10th time!) as well as To Kill a Mockingbird (probably for about the 20th time!) - the joys of being an English teacher!!!
