It's hard to narrow it down but 'To Kill A Mockingbird' is a favorite of mine.

Oh and, hate to burst your bubble, but we're reading Lord of the Flies in English right now and my opinion of it isn't that great. I just don't like it. It's so gruesome and gory that to me, it's just not enjoyable. I'm glad that we're almost done reading it.

i abhor to kill a mocking bird, we should read ellis in school instead of that bloody god awful rubbish. we ALL know about the racism that went on in the south back then, but I was so sick of re reading " they gone shot a black man! " in english class over and over again.

they shot the irish too, but t'was all in good fun! * does a jigg*

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's an amazing story with even more amazing characters. Without a doubt, it's my favorite of all time.

Others that I like:
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway
The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas
Man's Search for Meaning by Frankl
