Loved both of those…my teacher added Atlas Shrugged to that list…and it just blew my mind… I got so much more out of these books than I think most as far as the main talking points go.
Just finished Things Fall Apart today, wonderful book. I wouldn’t have selected it if Sarah Jessica Parker hadn’t been so passionate about it on the first episode of GAR.
Loved both of those.
Same!
Things Fall Apart …..was amazing and educational. It was beautiful
Same here!
Just now reading Things Fall Apart
Great book! My great-nephew recommended it to me about 4 years ago, so I read it!
Currently reading 1984 for the first time thanks to the GAR!

My daughter read that earlier this year so of course I had to as well! Great book.
Rebecca rocked mine… as did A Separate Peace and Lord of the Flies…

Just finished 1984, and I don’t think I liked it in high school, but it seems pretty relevant now.
If you want relevancy read Animal Farm!
Sticking to the list, for now. I’m barely making progress as it is, reading when you have an infant is a challenge!
Interesting. 1984 and Animal Farm started my love of reading on a major scale as a sixth grader.
I just read 1984. Scary how much is true today.
