The 2016 A-Level Independent Reading List is now available here.
What is this list and how should I use it? This list is a collection of books, articles, and videos that the teachers in your A-Level courses have recommended for you. The titles represent a mix of further reading in your subject areas and suggested books to develop your understanding of your A-Level courses. Use the links on this page to navigate to a specific subject.
Where can I find these books? There are links next to each title that identify where you can find a copy of that book. In general, they can be found either in the Shrewsbury Library (http://library.shrewsbury.ac.th/), in departmental offices, or in digital version on Overdrive (http://shrewsbury.lib.overdrive.com). If you would like to purchase a book and cannot find it locally, Book Depository (www.bookdepository.com) offers a wide selection of titles and free international shipping.
Special note: All of the 6th Form Independent Reading List books on Overdrive are available here. (Login required–If you need your Overdrive account information, please email Ms Beeman: kimberly.beeman@shrewsbury.in.th).
Which books should I read? Reading widely will both help you with your coursework and provide you with discussion material for your university applications and interviews. Choose books you think will interest you; you might want to take into consideration your intended course of study at university, your academic strengths and weaknesses, and specific recommendations from your teachers. If you have questions about any of these titles, please see your A-Level subject teachers, your Reading the World teacher, or Ms Beeman. The Open Syllabus Project may also be of interest; it lists the most commonly assigned texts in university courses in the US and the UK and produces this mesmerising map of texts that are frequently grouped together.
