<p>^ Ugh, so much lame literature. Not “lame” as in “bad”, per se, but “lame” as in “he won’t want to read ever again”.</p>

<p>dang, can’t forget catch-22!</p>

<p>The Stranger is not lame. I loved that book.</p>

<p>Here’s my list that I loved:</p>

<p>One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest
The Stranger
Time Traveler’s Wife
Slaughterhouse Five
Joy Luck Club
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
Catcher in the Rye</p>

<p>PS: Macbeth sucks so much ass. Don’t bother reading, it’s gore doesn’t even faze anyone. Oh no bloody hands OH MY GOD! </p>

<p>Withering Heights will kill you.</p>

<p>I’m reading the stranger right now aha. :slight_smile: Good book, almost finished.</p>

<p>@blackrose omg the line that everyone in my class remembers is the beginning… IT IS unforgettably amusing and sad at the same time haha!</p>

<p>Barrack Obama’s books. Those things are the new bible apparently :D</p>

<p>In Cold Blood - Truman Capote</p>

<p>Everyone should have to read that book…</p>

<p>^ You know what’s even funnier. When I picked up the book, my dad told me I’d like it, opened it to the front page and had me read the first sentence. LOL</p>

<p>Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.</p>

<p>You gotta be ready for the movie.</p>

<p>Movie always bad. Book always fun. Harry potter is ghetto. Thus harry potter book + movie = ghetto.</p>

<p>[man’s</a> search for meaning](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man’s_Search_for_Meaning]man’s”>Man's Search for Meaning - Wikipedia) by viktor frankl,
it’s about a guy who lived through a concentration camp
and based a psychological theory on it
really fascinating read</p>

<p>Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Definitely a must-read.
I’d also recommend 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and Candide by Voltaire.</p>

<p>yeah brave new world is excellent.</p>
