I really liked To Kill a Mockingbird even though I barely remember it.

      I had to look that one up. Looks like I barely missed that one, I had just aged out of the target demographic when it was published. Huh, it won a Newbery, so it must be good! Wait, what the heck, this book sounds like it was huge, how did I now hear of this before? Ok, well, I guess I gotta pick up a copy now.

    I liked Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I felt To Kill a Mocking Bird was only ok, although I got pretty confused in some of the court scenes.

    In High School
    Of Mice and Men
    The Old Man and the Sea
    Both are easy reads, but I found a lot of depth in them in my formative years. Things don’t always go as planned, but we carry on.

    In Uni
    Catch-22, I genuinely laughed out loud at so much, it still helps me laugh at infuriating bureaucracy.
    Fear and Loathing in LV.
    Both for an Americal Lit elective, read everything I could find by HST afterwards.

    Metamorphosis.

    And from my youngest days, “The Murder of The Math Teacher”

      It’s a good book, deeply unfortunate about it being inaccurate and harmful though.

    Probably To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451 were my two favorites from my high school years.
