Segmund, English Literature was my subject in university. So I studied Shakespeare. I enjoyed his works, but with in-depth analysis, never on my own; too many allegories and metaphors.
The Hunger Games is a very good read, though it can get depressing as it nears the end. Give it a try. Am thinking of reading Lord of the Rings trilogy again.
I used to love reading Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
