Flowers for Algernon was best thing I read when I was in 7th/8th grade.
I wish I could find a copy of it close by though.

Is this the one where the two guys were in the desert trying to hunt each other? If so, I loved that book.

Another one I remember liking in middle school was 'The Giver'

if memory recalls the story they are talking about are the two rival snipers in ireland who happened to be brothers. Right?

Junior year was the worst ever in terms of what we had to read. Sophomore English had already been trash (the Scarlet Letter, the Crucible, all that existentialist shit and a foray into Mark Twain) but Junior year's reading list, good god man.

The Great Gatsby, All Quiet on the Western Front, Catcher in the Rye, Death of a Salesman, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets; shit, the only book we read I didn't completely hate was To Kill a Mockingbird, and that's not to say I liked it.

I think the theme of that entire goddamn year was pointlessness and failure. With the exception of To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters in those books are universally useless and most of them die pointlessly. If any of you liked any of those books for any reason, by the way, we have nothing in common and I hope never to speak to you again.

Senior year of high school we read a book called: Blindness.

Highly recommended Tuhl.

Worst book ever

Aestu of Bleeding Hollow...

Nihilism is a copout.

I read To Kill a Mockingbird. It's about the only book i can actually rememember reading at school.

I love Gregory Peck.

Yeah.

Read The Postman, by David Brin, it's probably one of the best science fiction books I've ever read.

Way better than the movie, too.
