Unit 4: Reading For Pleasure
The books can be divided into two large genres such as fiction and non-fiction.
Within fiction, in turn, there are genres such as novels (1984 / In the penal colony), mystery (Sherlock Holmes / the Da Vinci Code), thrillers (The Girl on the train / The analyst), romance, science fiction (Brave New World / I, robot) and short stories (The tell-tale heart / The oval portrait).
On the non-fiction side are biographies, autobiographies, travel, memoirs, self-help.
