A must-read for all you teenage delinquents out there. Though it was published more than fifty years ago, it still resonates with today's youth (well, some of them).

Amazing. A beautifully written story about two very different characters. A coming of age story, a fascinating look into the lives of Jewish people in Brooklyn during and following WWII, an absolutely brilliant book. The sequel, The Promise, is very much recommended.

One of my all-time favorite books. A lovely story, one that paints a stunning picture of the American Southwest.

A true classic. Chock full of symbolism and wit, with the unbelievable fairy-tale love story we all know. I'm recommending this translation of the book because it's side-by-side with the original, easy to understand, and accurate. You may or may not like the actual story; it's not for everyone. But give it a read anyway, at the very least just to say you have.

A gripping story of political intrigue, mystery, and the real-life horror of a government that sees all. Regardless of your political beliefs, this is an absolute must-read book. It pulls you in, scares the pants off of you, and leaves you a changed, much more paranoid person for the rest of your life.

Divine! A mostly hilarious romp through various periods of time and settings, yet also very thought-provoking. This book has something for everyone; read it and it will not disappoint!

A monolith read, but vital to any student's understanding of the United States. Does an excellent job of exploring both sides of every story throughout the U.S.'s history, so to speak.

A mildly interesting book, good for younger teenage girls. Nothing too powerful or heavy, though the novel's examination of racial stereotyping is, I suppose, worth the read. Good if you have nothing better to read (which I hope you do!).

Amazing. A true classic that everyone should read at least once. This book explores race in America like no other.

Again, not everyone's cup of tea. A literary exploration in essays of American 1960s culture, but in complex and not-so-obvious ways. Excellent, in my opinion.

Assigned by a math teach. Good for calculus students who are more into english; explains the math in literary form.

Another great in literature. Fairly short read, but complexly layered. Provides a glimpse into not-so-mainstream society of the 1920s. Amazing.

A famous novel about adultery in a "pure" society. Excellent, if not obvious, use of symbolism. Highly historical, riveting, and classic lit to boot!

Another classic, though to be honest I'm not totally sure I liked it. A satire that will leave you either laughing until you cry or just plain confused.
