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.

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.
I've watched the movies, but I could never finish pride & prejudice.
Have you tried any Jane Austen?
Read more Joyce. It completes life.
(not that I'm a not-so-closeted Joyce fanatic, or like, anything^^)
