![]() ![]() ![]() The only survivors are a group of young boys, all under the age of thirteen. The Lord of the Flies opens in the aftermath of a plane crash during an unspecified British war on a island in the Pacific Ocean. I’m starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for audiobooks of books I read before I started the book blog, so The Lord of the Flies presented itself in pretty short order after my last listen. I don’t know how much I absorbed, without a guiding hand, but I do know that I’ve, more or less, always said “she’s got the conch!” whenever I encounter people who interrupt. But I don’t ever recall reading it for school-I came across a copy that may have belonged to my brother among my parents’ haphazard library and picked it up. Unlike almost all of my childhood reading, I read The Lord of the Flies around the same age it’s commonly assigned to American schoolchildren. ![]()
