Young Writers Society

I have to admit, I usually have a very cheap taste in books. I frequent the "Teen" section of the library. But I'm trying to become more classy in my book selection. Any suggestions for good/interesting/not boring books of literary merit?

Here are the few things that I've read that I enjoyed:

1. Lord of the Flies - William Golding
2. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - James Joyce
3. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
4. The Crucible - Arthur Miller
5. An Enemy of the People - Henrik Ibsen


Oh yes, I like plays too!

THANKS to everyone in advance.

Read more Joyce. It completes life.




(not that I'm a not-so-closeted Joyce fanatic, or like, anything^^)

Have you tried any Jane Austen?

I've watched the movies, but I could never finish pride & prejudice.

Try anything by Kurt Vonnegut and George Orwell. They seem to be from the time period that you enjoy, and are brilliant writers to boot.
