It is very important that you are reading around to extend your knowledge and push yourself. This is an augmented version of AQA’s suggested reading list, a number of these you already have extracts from, some are in the library and I have some individual copies of others. Many can be picked up cheaply and easily on sites like Amazon, abebooks.co.uk and eBay.
