To Kill a Mocking Bird. . . read that when I was younger.
The Stranger and The Plague by Albert Camus.

The Sun Also Rises, The Summer of My German Soldier, Madame Bovary were also decent books I read during high school.

Of course, when I was a kid . . . Anything written by Shel Silverstein.
Still have tons of his poems in memory.

Edit:Wow. . . just visited his website. Brings back memories. So much to interact with on there.

And with all these books I like, here's a couple that totally take the cake for being suck-tastic.
Old man & the Sea.
Pride and Prejudice (it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't as thick as my mattress)

How do you not like the Old man and the Sea? It's a great book. Almost anything he's written is great. I think I'm partial to his short stories for the most part.

I'm reading some of Anne Rice's books right now.

Well to be honest, I liked some of his other works. As for old man and the sea, it failed to entertain me, and it pretty much lacked any sort of content that made me want to keep reading it. It came across as an old guy in a boat with only a whale to talk to, not my preferred reading material. At some points it was too dry and others overly descriptive.

^ Yeah, I like Grisham, but his endings feel rushed sometimes (e.g., The Brethren).

Jeffery Deaver's an amazing author, too.

maybe a little but my favorites are "The Broker" and "King of Torts". even though i dont really no anything about law, i really like the law books he writes.
