You got to read The Kite Runner in school? Lucky you! And Anthem...that's by Ayn Rand, right? Was it good?

I'm so jealous! We were never asked to read novels in high school... Once, one of my teachers suggested we read one and I think I'm the only one in the entire class who read it. It's called "Menaud, Maître-Draveur", a Quebec literature classic, and I really enjoyed it. I've read it several times since then.

I'll never forget Heart Of Darkness because I spent ages trying to understand it, before deciding to drop that course entirely.

But umm... favourite book was probably To Kill A Mockingbird.

dracula
stephen king short stories

thats all i remember

Pixiedust, I really enjoyed Anthem (and yes, it's by Ayn Rand). We read it just after/before (can't remember) The Giver by Lois Lowry--they both have to do with living in a dystopic world. And I know it was so cool that we got to read Kite Runner

I think I forgot to mention that we read Rocket Boys by Homer Hickham Jr. my freshman year as a school read (everyone read it). Hickham came and gave us a speech, but I have to admit his book was better than the speech. I really actually liked the book and don't really like October Sky (the movie based off of it) because they're so different.
