    All time favorite novel. This piece of historical fiction is full of life lessons and coming of age story. The book deals with horrible themes like racism in the south and rape but really warms your heart with the characters of Scout and her father Atticus Finch. The mockingbird symbol is perfect as it is a symbol of innocence and purity. from ahanneken

    Holden Caufield catches your attention from the first page. He is different, strong-willed, loving and misunderstood. Reading this book with my teens helped to initiate conversations about what it's like to be a teen in a world the looks at grades rather than the emotional trauma they may be going through. from evelynsaenz

    This inspirational fable by Brazilian author and translator Coelho has been a runaway bestseller throughout Latin America and seems poised to achieve the same prominence here. The charming tale of Santiago, a shepherd boy, who dreams of seeing the ... from voxefx

    Ray Bradbury was one of my favourite authors as I was growing up, and this novel certainly left an impression on me as a teen. If you're reading this list, you've probably already read the book. If not, go find a copy immediately! It's also a very good look at the attitudes and expectations of the times in which is was written. from fishoutoforder

    I remember liking this when I read it years ago. The tale of aviators trying to get out of bombing runs by claiming they were crazy was the perfect Catch-22. If you flew, you must be crazy, therefore it is ok to fly. But we do not want crazy people flying, which is dangerous, and so on. This may be another one to revisit soon. from gypsylibrarian

    From Wiki- The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Ayn Rand. It was Rand's first major literary success and its royalties and movie rights brought her fame and financial security. The book's title is a reference to Rand's statement that "man's ego is ... from livia

    I have not reread this in years, but I remember liking it and finding it very intriguing. I did read it shortly after I had read _1984_. I think a lot of people read those two books together or close to each other. Makes for an interesting experience in constrasts. And now that I think about it, the Huxley novel may well be finding some new relevance these days. from gypsylibrarian - liked from arvind's entry

    This is my 2nd favorite entry in the series. I like the new direction the author took, even though it wasn't a new direction really. Let us say certain things in this books allowed her to change the flow and narrative a bit. from norrathreaver - liked from totally_toni's entry

    1984 seems to get all the attention, but I think Animal Farm is better.

I'll just quote Noam Chomsky on Animal Farm ( from this link http://uprisingradio.org/home/... )

    I love, love, love this book! My children's copy of this book was dog eared, jelly stained and held together with a prayer! They are adults with children of their own, but no child ever forgets Green Eggs and Ham. from polly479 - liked from sdesciencelover's entry

    I was very surprised by this set of books. I came into it thinking it was going to be for 'chicks' pardon the term ladies. I ended up being surprised by the writing, and by the characters. I will admit that there are some slow bits in books 2 & 3, but book 4 picks up and hits a good pace again. from norrathreaver

    I really liked Watership Down because it was a challenge to read, but it wasn't boring at all, just fun. The writing is a on a great literary/epic scale, and animal epics like this are cool because they're subtle fantasies. We've all had a taste of this.
