Dorottya (dorottya_b) | 22 comments My personal list:
-Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
-1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell
-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (that would be the one I would recommend the most from her, but I like all the books I have read from her so far...)
-All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
-Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky (sp?)

That's a good list, Dorottya. I've read each and enjoyed them all. If you like psychological novels, I suggest you try Graham Greene's books. My favorite is "The Quiet American", but most of his serious novels turn on a psychological trait.

Hannah I'll say that my all time favorite book is Wuthering Heights, which I read (by choice) in 7th grade.
At this point, that's all I have on my list. :)
