Lilith where did you get this list?

Here's a short list of other books that I have read that I think would fit into this list well.

Fahrenheit 451
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Catcher In The Rye
The Great Gatsby
Steppenwolf
On The Road

stole it :D

From where?

read eat, pray, love by liz gilbert this summer if you can lil. you'll enjoy it. i'm sure of it.

Boog, how many of those were required reading for you in school?

I'm pretty sure the first two were on mine, & just shows to go ya how science fiction becomes science fact, Fahrenheit 451 showed up on #2 son's req. list last year (I copped him a lightly used copy off Ebay).

I know that To Kill A Mockingbird has been taken off the required reading list in Nova Scotia schools. A teacher isn't even allowed to recommend it anymore, from what I understand. It's still in the libraries though, I think.

To tell the truth Scotz none of them were for me. I read them all in my mid to late 20's on my own.

Kinda like Huck Finn has been banned from assigned reading lists in the US. Something about using a PI word...
