Jessica’s comments from the Classics Without All the Class group.

Based on what I remember from being in High school combined with similar taste as you, at that point in my life. I suggest the following:

Jane Eyere by Charlotte Bronte
TO Kill a Mockingbitrd by Harper Lee
The Lord of the Flies by James Aubrey
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
The Hobbit by Tolkien

To this day, those are still some of my favorite books and they are the ones I had to read for high school English classes. Pride and Prejudice is a thought as well.

As for books not in the classic literature category:

You might enjoy The Strain trilogy by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro, if you like creepy vampire stuff. Great trilogy and an interesting take on vampires.
If you like fantasy genres:
Patrick Rothfuss and George R.R. Martin are great authors to test out.

Hope all of our suggestions help you out. I am curious to know what you will end up writing your paper on. Please share what books you chose after you write the paper. :) Good luck!

I am in the Middle of The Grapes of Wrath at the moment. After I plan to read Wuthering Heights.

LOVE IT!"

Get ready for pure addiction. This series is awesome. Hope you guys like it enough to continue reading the rest. :)

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I am from Nashville, TN. I just graduated from MTSU with a degree in Graphic Design. I have loved to read sense I was a wee little tot. The love is stronger than ever now. The smell of a library or an old book is something I wish I could bottle.

I have, recently decided to reread some of the classics I read in high school and read those I never had the chance to. At the moment I am reading Grapes of Wrath, and liking it so far.

Some of my favorite books:
The Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
(more of an obsession)
Ordinary People by Judith Guest
A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens
Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy (LOVE!)
The Hobbit by Tolkien
Night Watch, Day Watch, Twilight Watch by
Sergei Lukyanenko (great series)
Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss

That should be a pretty good mix of my taste. I am all over the place. My goal for the year is to read Les Misrables. I have always wanted to but have been intimidated by the size.

My superpower would be...(that's hard) ummm
Super human strength or flying :)
