Reading Expansion for Beowulf

Please select a book you have NOT read before. It needs to be a fantasy novel, a book by Tolkien (i.e., The Lord of the Rings), or Grendel (by John Gardner).

Please note that Grendel is a mature book with some brief strong language. It tells the story of Beowulf from Grendel's point of view. If you or your parents are uncomfortable with this, please choose another book to read. That being said, I do recommend Grendel because it connects so well to our reading of Beowulf and I do not believe the mature elements are gratuitous but help to develop a point of view.
