About HilaryRose

Location: UK

Age:17

Favorite novels: I love George Orwell's 1984, Animal Farm and Coming Up For Air, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis, Trainspotting and Filth by Irvine Welsh. And also, to be hugely pretentious, the 'challenging' works of James Joyce (Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses) Dostoyevsky (The Brother's Karamazov, The Idiot,) Mikhail Bulgakov (The Master and Margarita), Nabokov's Lolita, I'm currently reading Les Enfants Terribles, by Jean Cocteau, and I hope to be starting on Camus's L'Etranger soon. I also like Dazed and Confused magazine, Pride and Prejudice and, conversely, the Twilight Saga.

Favorite writers: Oscar Wilde. Forever and always.
