Online Literature Sites (from The British Council)

If you're a Facebook user, I strongly recommend following all The British Council's excellent pages.

Today, their "LearnEnglish" page at https://www.facebook.com/LearnEnglish.BritishCouncil posted a list of links to online literature in English.

Reading literature is a fabulous way to enrich your English language and understanding of English-speaking cultures.

Enjoy!
