The Great Gatsby (My all time favorite!!!)
The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
The Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird
Jane Eyre
A Death in Venice
Romeo and Juliet
Night
Lord of the Flies

 

[snakeblitz33]

I liked Romeo and Juliet, Night, and Lord of the Flies. Catcher in the Rye didn't really impress me.
Could you all perhaps maybe catagorize what the authors write? I will from now on. like:
Orson Scott Card - SciFi
Terry Pratchet - Fantasy
etc..

I forgot to mention Tom Clancy. I love all of his books, especially the ones with the Jack Ryan character.
Anything by Michael Crichton would have to be up near the top of my list as well.

If you like Comical/Fantasy you need to read Robert Asprin. He has two separate series that I have read, you definitely need to read them in order.

 

[pezenfuego]

Brave New World is highly recommended for anyone who likes futuristic sci-fi novels.
