Typographic entertainment

Here I have the final five novels for my bibliography. These I found at random at Indigo and felt that they would provide a beneficial and intriguing read. These books are more focused on culture, and how society operates.


Animal Farm
1- Animal Farm
By: George Orwell
I greatly enjoyed 1984 and found the plotline for this novel rather odd. It was also recommended to me by a friend, as an “interesting perspective on culture”.

2- Lord of the Flies
By: William Golding
I read this in grade nine, and loved it. However, I feel that with the knowledge I have gained over the past 4 years, the book will take on a different read.

3- Culture Matters
Editor: Lawerence E. Harrison
This novel investigates Western culture and how we are so drastically divided into the rich and poor, the free and oppressed.

4- No Logo
By: Naomi Klein
No Logo, looks into our ‘branded’ society, how it operates, and where it is going.

Uses of Television
5- Uses of Television
By: John Hartley
Hartley’s novel takes on a different perspective of the usually talked down television. It suggests that television is not all bad, and has various other uses than simply a program supplier.
