<p>So far, the Giver has been my clear favorite from all my school books. I loved it so much that I read the next two books of the “series”. Other favorites include The Great Gatsby, Othello, Hamlet, Faust (the 1st part, I still have to read the second part) and Catcher in the Rye</p>
<p>Flowers for Algernon</p>
<p>We’re currently reading The Great Gatsby and I’m really liking it. The Catcher in the Rye is one I like as well. my all time favorite would have to be A Separate Peace. I love that book!</p>
<p>Catch 22
The Count of Monte Cristo
Jane Eyre
Lord of the Rings series</p>
<p>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</p>
<p>To Kill a Mockingbird
Wuthering Heights
currently beginning Hamlet and I’m loving it!</p>
<p>I loved Animal Farm and Beauty Plus Pity.</p>
<p>Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, and To Kill a Mockingbird.</p>
<p>East, The Bluest Eye, and The Scarlet Letter</p>
<p>1)Of Mice and Men - simple and powerful
2)Great Gatsby, Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm</p>
<p>Oedipus the King, anyone?</p>
<p>Great Expectations
A Tale of Two Cities
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (best novel I’ve ever read)
1984</p>
<p>@enotram we read Oedipus Tyrannus and Antigone in Classics, but not in English.</p>
<p>I’m so jealous of the great books you all get to read! LotR, 1984, Gawain and the Green Knight?!? All of our books are either Shakespeare, Victorian (dull) or Of Mice and Men, which was good.</p>
<p>To Kill a Mocking Bird</p>
<p>I like A midsummer’s night dream. Shakespeare isn’t bad all the time. But some like King Lear are really boring and tedious to read. In fact, I actually enjoy British authors (except for like the exception of Thomas Hardy, depressing guy) more than American ones. The language is better.</p>
<p>To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, Blink, The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night-Time, The Things They Carried, Bel Canto</p>
<p>Beloved by Toni Morrison (it’s the latest I’ve read), As I Lay Dying by Faulkner, and The Stranger.</p>
<p>Crime and Punishment - I’m usually a quick reader, but all those Russian names… Despite how long it took me to go through C&P, I loved it. (Did I or did I not identify with an ax murderer and on the first day of my AP Lit class said as much? No… Okay, yes…)</p>
<p>“Oedipus the King, anyone?”</p>
<p>I wasn’t a fan of the eye-stabbing at the end. Some girl had to graciously point out that it’s actually really hard to puncture a cornea, so he must have stabbed at his eye for a long time before the pin went through. :eek:</p>
<p>^Do you really call it Oedipus the King? That’s so… American I guess 
I preffered Antigone out of the Theban plays, less gruesomeness, to start with.</p>
