"the courious incident of the dog in the night time" i read in last yr in 9th grade and it has been the only school book. that i was forced to read, that i have ever completely finished since, we were started to have to read on our own as homework. i thought it was a really good book. it was about an autistic kid written in the first person, it was funny to read and i felt like i was able to connect, me being ADD, with him about the way he thinks.

There were several that I liked, but the one I always come back to is Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. I've re-read it several times and am due for another go 'round pretty quick here. There is just so much to it, I always catch new and amusing things. I appreciate it more each time I read it. Oh yeah and Twelfth Night by Shakespeare and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard...both absolutely hilarious!

Wuthering Heights. I really loved how messed up and mean the main characters were.
