<p>In Cold Blood is BA.</p>
<p>AHH I was JUST thinking about In Cold Blood [Truman Capote] as I was reading through this thead.. It's really good and is nonfiction, but still really interesting.</p>
<p>The House of Mirth - Edith Wharton - This one was GREAT!!
And I second The Count of Monte Cristo and the Great Gatsby.</p>
<p>I third "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. It's probably my favorite book of all time. That's be my top selection.</p>
<p>Other books that I enjoyed and are probably "of literary merit" are</p>
<p>-Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
-The Road by Cormac McCarthy (very recent, but a work of art nonetheless.)
-One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn</p>
<p>yeah "The Count of Monte Cristo" was pretty good, although the language was a little dry , but i think that's cuz of the translation. the plot never keeps u tired.</p>
<p>I also liked "Sophie's World" a lot, but it's not a novel, it's a book about philosophy for teenagers, it really opens your mind and gives a very comprehensive introduction on philosophy.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone</p>
<p>Wait..I have a couple.
lol</p>
<p>A Seperate Peace
My favorite book.
A Walk In The Woods
hilarious
These r the latest I have read.</p>
<p>Ok, since your a female you won't mind reading this:</p>
<p>Anything Jane Austen. </p>
<p>My recommendations:</p>
<p>Pride and Prejudice
Emma
Mansfield park
Sense and Sensibility</p>
<p>Jane Austen is a notable literary figure for romance novels. Now, most novels are somewhat based on her view of romance in her books. A definite must read. If you want to major in English Literature, you will have to read a work by her sometime in college, so why not start now?</p>
<p>I won't tailor my recommendations to you, but rather I'll share what I bought the day before yesterday at borders:</p>
<p>Guns, Germs, and Steel
Dune
Cosmos
Notes from the Underground</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>Oh man, Invoyable! When I read your suggestion I thought the name of the book was "Pokemon: I Choose You, Dracula"...and it made me really confused.</p>
<p>I second the recommendation of Catch-22 by Joseph Heller and also want to add anything by Oscar Wilde to the list. The Importance of Being Earnest is a clever play and very quick read, and The Picture of Dorian Grey is popular. :)</p>
