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.
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.
Metamorphosis.
And from my youngest days, “The Murder of The Math Teacher”
The Giver. I mean goddam.
Both Lord of the Flies and 1984 were great.
Slaughterhouse-Five.
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.
