I really liked To Kill a Mockingbird even though I barely remember it.
The owl who called my name, catch-22, invisible man, Lord of the flies and so many more.
Metamorphosis.
And from my youngest days, “The Murder of The Math Teacher”
Out of Mind by J. Bernlef really stuck with me. A story about a man suffering from Alzheimer’s, his life seamlessly flowing over into memories. At times he suddenly awakens from them, realizes his current state, and a terrible emptiness engulfs him.
All quiet on the Western Front
Both Lord of the Flies and 1984 were great.
Slaughterhouse-Five.
The Giver. I mean goddam.
Not to be That Guy, but I LOVED the catcher in the rye as a teenager. It spoke to my angsty teen heart.
That’s the beauty of it, aint it? It perfectly captures teen angst, so much so that you see it very differently when you’re a teen vs an adult.
