Re: 4 Great Classic Books
1984 - I first read this in high school and didn't fully appreciate it until reading it again years later.
I would add To Kill a Mockingbird to the list. Perfect writing, perfect characters, perfect story.....a gem of a book.

A great book that is never mentioned anywhere is Johnny got his gun.
The book was authored by Dalton Trumbo and it is an anti-war novel but told from the perspective of a wounded war fighter.

George Orwell's 1984 is one of my absolute favorites.

get through it. It wasn't so much the characters or the plot but the way it would get
draggy at certain points. I have a problem with books that don't have a consistent
flow/rhythm to them~it makes it difficult for me to keep my interest. I know it
sounds a little ADD, but I like my books fast paced. I wouldn't say it was one of
Salinger's best works.
