Not at all, but A Separate Peace by John Knowles is a better novel.

Everything by Steinbeck and Cormack McCarthy. Also, as much Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut as you can get. Throw in some Foster Wallace and Anthony Burgess and you've got yourself a great modern literature feast.

I received my set when I was six because I asked too many questions.

Aww. My degree is in English (concentration was Literature). So. Not much "classic" lit I haven't read.
I love HoD. And subsequently, Apocalypse Now.

I love Faulkner, but I can't say anything by him. There are a few I can't handle.

I suppose you will need to tell us about that one...
The Old Man and The Sea,was good.
If you wanted to write a book about me,comparing me to what I was, when I was a boy..that would be a book that spanned incredible changes,with real factual violence and unsolved mystery written in.
and me having to find out that My Dad is dead,from the nurses at the emergency room. It's great drama,if you want to see all of my tears and snot flying,before they shoot me up.
sorry if I misread things,or misunderstood intentions.
