read every book on Time Magazine's all-time 100 list

I’m not really sure what to think of this one. J.D. Salinger is obviously an amazing writer. The voice of Holden is flawless.

Maybe I took it too seriously, maybe the satire went over my head, but I didn’t care too much for the plot. Maybe my teenage angst is too far behind me.

One of my childhood favorites. I always wanted a dad like Atticus.

This book has the best last line of anything I’ve ever read. I didn’t really respect Hemingway until I read this.

Another high school read. An unusual plot, for sure. It was unexpectedly and alarmingly violent.

My all-time favorite novel. I read it in a hammock over a couple of summer days. It’s linguistically playful and Hum’s descent completely draws you in. It’s the first book of Nabokov’s that I read.

First introduced to it in high school, but I’ve come back to it several times since. One of my favorite tragedies.

Checked this out from the library, underlined so many passages, dogeared so many pages and fell so in love with it that I never returned it.

I read this in middle school and found the allegory to be a bit heavy-handed, even then. Good satire though.
