I liked "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Fahrenheit 451". also, my tenth grade English teacher had half the class read Stephen King's "The Stand" and that was a pretty good read. Certainly not your standard high school book.

Russel Banks "Rule of the Bone"

I would recommend this book to anyone aged 18-30. Great book.

Dudes:

Nice job recommending some lesser-known works. 1984, Slaughterhouse Five, etc. are all awesome reads, but I think that most people have encountered them in school or otherwise. So even if one of those is actually your favorite, it would be dope if you could recommend a lesser-known favorite as well.

Much love,

Tron
