The Classics Here are some true masterpieces of literature. I know, the word "classics" brings to mind dusty old boring books that your grandparents read in school when they were your age. But I promise that you'll like these books. They're not only really entertaining, they'll also make you think -- and you can learn a lot about superb writing from them, too. I hope you'll give them a try. * * * TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD I was assigned to read this book in English class, and it turned out to be one of the best assignments I ever received. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD turned out to be a story that will stay with me forver. It is one of my favorite books of all time, and I recommend it to everyone looking for a wonderful read, as well as writers searching for an extremely well-written story to learn from. * * * THE CATCHER IN THE RYE Salinger's literary masterpiece tells the story of a young boy named Holden and his coming-to-terms with himself. Told through Holden's eyes, this book is by turns sarcastic, witty, humorous, insightful, and heart-wrenchingly poignant. Nothing I say here can do it justice -- you just have to go out and read it for yourself. Simply put, THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is one of those rare books that you could read every day and never grow tired of, and that -- whether you read it a hundred times or just once -- will stay with you forever [Exception in:/editor/tiles/EditNav3.jsp] utils.LabelValue |
