<p>of mice and men.</p>
<p>Lol, my Lit class has read:</p>
<p>Into the Wild
Siddhartha
Beowulf
Grendel
The Divine Comedy
The Canterbury Tales
The Hobbit
The Princess Bride
Becket
A Man for All Seasons
Hamlet
Much Ado About Nothing</p>
<p>so far. Plenty more yet to come, though (too bad I've read most of them already ;/)</p>
<p>Just so you know, 1984 is a horrible to so-so book. 4-5/10 As an above poster stated earlier, there is a part (a good 1/3 of the book) that is painfully boring, and many other parts of the book flat out suck.</p>
<p>Animal Farm is an easy read, short, kicks tons of butt, and is also very interesting when you notice who/what the book alludes to.</p>
<p>Slaughterhouse-Five is a great book that's a little over 200 pages.</p>
<p>Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (on a lot of "best" lists)</p>
<p>Have to go with <em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em> also. Great book.</p>
<p>Also many of the books mentioned come in an audio version (public library) if you want to listen rather than read.</p>
<p>Oh my GOD! Moodrets. How long have you been in school? We've read:</p>
<p>All The King's Men
Cyrano De Bergerac. . . </p>
<p>And now we're just in the middle of Bless Me, Ultima. How'd you read so many so fast. : O</p>
<p>the metamorphosis by kafka
the stranger by camus</p>
<p>I agree with whoever said A Separate Peace was the worst book ever, and I would say Secret Life of Bees gets a close second. Maybe Of Mice and Men in third. Horrible.</p>
<p>Fahrenheit 451 and Night aren't half bad though.</p>
<p>Since mid-August. All we do for Lit class is read books and discuss them in class, with the occasional movie snippet thrown in. </p>
<p>I think we have a dozen or so more books to read by the end of the semester, though. Next up is Candide (which I've already read) and Cat's Cradle (also already read).</p>
<p>Yay Candide! Srsly Invoyable you have to read that one.</p>

Uh...</p>
<p>Candide? Animal Farm?</p>
<p>It sucks seeing all these books that I've never even heard in my life...and I already said in my other thread my english class is chill (we haven't read ONE book yet). </p>
<p>you guys are amazing, knowing/reading all these books. The past 6 years or so I've read literally 10 or so books in total. I had no idea people read so much.</p>
<p>Haha, there's this one thread on this other forum that I visit titled 50 book challenge 2008 and people there keep a running list of all the books that they've read thus far this year, and most people have only read a trifling 40-80 books (myself included, but I got to the party late and didn't want to bother with finding the old ones and listing them; I'll probably keep a list for next year though), but one guy there is already up to 241! Pretty nifty considering how we've only had ~300 days this year so far!</p>
<p>The Bad Seed ! by William March. kinda freaky. but VERY interesting.</p>
<p>A Seperate Peace
Let the comments on how Finny and Gene are gay begin. lol </p>
<p>Anything by Margaret Peterson haddix in my oppion. Really quick and easy reads but completely intriguing.</p>
<p>I'm reading Bless me Utima for Academic Decathalon...</p>
<p>Someone mentioned it earlier.</p>
<p>Candide
Flowers for Algernon
March by Geraldine Brooks. Won the Pulitzer.</p>
<p>The Little Prince! </p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>^ Oh, how I hated reading the Little Prince. We just had to read it for Freshman Honors English. I didn't see the point then, and looking back, I still don't</p>
<p>I reccomend Chronicle of a Death Foretold.
Barely over a hundered pages, it can be done in a day, and it's good!</p>
<p>Oh, you could read The Prince by Machiavelli, but I have a feeling you might not appreciate it.</p>
<p>Candide is a satire by Voltaire [surely you've heard of him, though, right?], it's utterly hilarious, witty, etc. And short :]</p>
