Sabrina Harris

I’m studying English and History at Southampton University, and currently in my second year of study. My favourite genre of literature is not very well represented at degree level study – fantasy! So I am particularly liable to binge on 900 page books with swords and magic that I find much easier to get through than what’s on our reading lists. I enjoy historical fiction up to a point (basically, when authors start using creative license as an excuse to completely distort or ignore well-known facts, I put the book down). I’m a much keener reader of historical non-fiction. And I like to keep up with the latest atheist literature.

I also study Japanese, and although my skills are still basic (comics are all I can manage reading-wise) my interest is usually piqued by books that reference Japanese culture heavily. Of the few translated Japanese authors available, I’m especially fond of Haruki Murakami and Shuusaku Endo.
