The Alchemist (still in the middle of reading it)</p>
<p>I second The Alchemist</p>
<p>The Alchemist is pretty darn good</p>
<p>Did anyone read “Like Water For Chocolate”</p>
<p>or “Love in the times of Cholera”</p>
<p>by Gabriel Garcia Marquez?</p>
<p>Crime and Punishment
Lolita
A Clockwork Orange</p>
<p>And… A book you probably haven’t read: The Torture Garden</p>
<p>PS: Marquez is amazing 
And people think Love in the Time of Cholera is a lady’s book, not true. It’s great!</p>
<p>Green Eggs and Ham.</p>
<p>Word.</p>
<p>books written by Jodi Picoult (My Sister’s Keeper, Nineteen Minutes, Faith, etc.) you learn about so many diff. topics and viewpoints in the novels and you don’t even realize it b/c the story is so awesome</p>
<p>the language in most of the classics is borking-and the whole first section of 1984 put me to sleep, but after that it was good</p>
<p>yeah, I read “Like Water for Chocolate.” it was soo bad in my opinion, just because it was such a strange story
the movie even more so</p>
<p>A Clockwork Orange rules</p>
<p>it is better than the movie</p>
<p>Everyone Worth Knowing
I forgot the author but it’s the same one who wrote The Devil Wears Prada</p>
<p>1984
To Kill a Mockingbird
Summer of My German Soldier
Night
Harry Potter</p>
<p>In response to “green eggs and ham”, I believe “foot book” has more literary merit. Maybe it’s just because I was mailed three copies of it for some reason, idk.</p>
<p>Also, don’t forget Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It’s a profound, literary masterpiece. Word indeed.</p>
<p>The (inaccurately named) Hitchhiker’s trilogy is the most random, hilarious, interesting series I’ve ever read.
And the Gospel According to Larry has opened my eyes to the problems with consumerism, and has truly changed my life.
I would describe things further, but I’m bad at describing things, no matter how awesome.</p>
<p>The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde </p>
<p>^Brilliance. Perfect ending. </p>
<p>The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon </p>
<p>^Completely changed my perspective of autism (and my brother, who has it.)</p>
<p>The Things They Carried - I think Tim O’Brien is the best living writer.
Sula - one of Toni Morrison’s lesser known works, but absolutely amazing
Anything Shakespeare EXCEPT Romeo and Juliet. That was just stupid.
Dante’s Divine Comedy. I’ve read Inferno twice and am in the middle of Purgatorio. Truly life-changing.
Sophie’s World - hard to digest at times but awesome and mind-blowing
Malcom Gladwell stuff. It’s spiffy.
The Abhorsen Series - my favorite “fun” reads.</p>
<p>I’m reading “Mao” right now. I’m really interested in political science and international relations, so I think it’s an absolutely fabulous book.</p>
<p>“Anything Shakespeare EXCEPT Romeo and Juliet. That was just stupid.”</p>
<p>Haha, right?</p>
<p>Harry Potter series; Fahrenheit 451; Animal Farm; The Giver</p>
<p>I’m in love with Jane Austen novels.
But also Harry Potter, my favourite shakespearean play was Taming of the Shrew, and also Angels and Demons.</p>
<p>^Bronte sisters own Austen. Soz, had to be said.</p>
<p>^haha
well i heard all three of them are boring writers.
i wouldnt know though, never bothered reading any of them.
but i think i might just read jane eyre…</p>
<p>I really liked One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest. </p>
<p>Im beginning to read Vanity Fair. For anyone whos read the book, what do you think of it?</p>
