That's hard...because I'll read anything, and my tastes are different than a lot of people.
1) The Outsiders 2) The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time 3) Black Like Me 4) The Giver 5) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows  (and the whole series before
that, so they know what's going on. )
Some of those are my favorites, some aren't, but they all stuck with me in some way. |

The only book I think everyone should read is To Kill a Mockingbird.

Oh, and those are just ones I've read recently or that I read often. I can't remember every book I've ever read.

I think it's all downhill after "Green Eggs and Ham"
Seriously though: 1984 The Grapes of Wrath To Kill a Mockingbird Of Mice and Men Oh the Place You'll Go (yes.....Dr. Suess) |

I LOVE Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs!
My little brother has it, I read it while I was at home a few weeks ago. I read it by myself.

Laurie where is your list?
It makes me sad for humanity when anyone puts down anyone else for reading any kind of book. |
