Lord of the Flies
Grapes of Wrath
Of Mice & Men

I have to agree on you on these. I dont see how anybody cannot read "The Grapes of Wrath" and not be a changed person after finishing it. John Steinbeck really had a way of making you feel and experience different emotions so much while reading his literature.

When I was a senior in high school English class we were to do an oral book report but were only suppose to give it in only 5 minutes and no longer. I did mine on William Golding's Lord of the Flies and went over 15 minutes, LOL.

tallpenguin, I am curious how this book impacted you. If you wouldn't mind.

Lord of the Flies
Grapes of Wrath
Of Mice & Men

I have to agree with these and others.

So, am I the only one that was impacted by "The Happy Hooker" by Xaviera Hollander?

I did a book report on it in the ninth grade. The entire class was enthusiastic about my presentation.
