My 15 year old daughter flops down on my bed and lays her head in my lap. Ariel, (Crying)" I finished the book." Me, "What book?" Ariel just shakes her head and cries. Me, "Oh" Me, "Of Mice and Men." Ariel, "That is a truly evil book. I hate it. My teacher is mean." Me, "We ALL cry when we read that book, George." Ariel laughs Me, "Now you need to read, "Flowers for Algernon." Ariel, "NO!" Ariel, " Not for another three years until I am emotionally stable." I laugh |

"Flowers for Algernon" was a wonderful book.

I had to read that book 2 years ago when I was a Junior, it wasn't that bad. We watched the movie as well.

Native Son - at least the first 3/4 of the book. Sometimes people need a good eye opener.

I hated Old Man and the Sea, The Outsiders, and Catcher in the Rye. By the time I left high school, I was convinced that no one wrote books about women except for Austen.
