1.) “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” by Betty Smith
Possibly the greatest (and most underrated) novel ever written. It follows the life of Francie Nolan, a girl growing up in extreme poverty during the early 1900’s. If you don’t cry at the end, you are the devil.
2.) “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee
Do I really need to elaborate on this one? It should be number one, but I’m biased on ATGIB, so it’s number two. This book is a timeless peice of American history. Every person should read this.
3.) “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger
One of the funniest books I’ve ever read. If you’re one of the poor unfortunates who “hates” to read, just read the first 10 pages of this book. Your opinions will change forever. And if they don’t, well, then you’re beyond hope.
4.) “Farenheit 451″ by Ray Bradbury
When I first got this book, I expected it to be boring, but I was wrong. It’s one of the most fast-paced books I’ve ever read. Not only that, but it’s scary to think that, one day, society could very well take a turn for the worst as it does in this book.
I’ll put more up later, my mom’s going to have a conniption fit if I don’t get off.
