[TJ Wells]

Which of these classic 20th century novels is your favorite?

[Jessooker]

I have not read enough of these. I put Catcher in the Rye. I really want to read On The Road.

[kafe]

Only read 3 of them, and it was a hard choice between Catcher in the Rye and Lord of the Flies, but I chose the later.

Seriously, read that book, you will immediately want to travel all over the country. I was reading it while we were driving to Colorado a couple weeks ago, and when we stopped at a rest area at about 2am, I found myself inside the building, trying to trace his route on the Colorado map.

oh man. i want to travel so bad already. that's really all i want to do with myself. maybe this will push me to work harder to get there.

[TJ Wells]

I really want to take like two weeks next summer, just jump on a bus, and just go wherever.

[Jared Kaufman]

The Great Gatsby

[unwritten]

Into The Wild.

[Jessooker]

Into The Wild.

haha i think that's a little different.

I want to go to europe and just stay for as long as i can, then come back. my dad used to do it when he was younger.

[TJ Wells]

haha i think that's a little different.
Ha yeah, no desire to go into the wilderness.

[Machu505]

It's between Lord of the Flies and 1984, but I went with 1984.

[TJ Wells]

The Great Gatsby
"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaslessly into the past"

Went with On the Road, but this is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

[xfantabulousx]

It was hard to chose between the Great Gatsby and 1984, but 1984 wins.

[stayillogical]

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaslessly into the past"

Went with On the Road, but this is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

I have friends that named one of their songs, "Boats Against The Current."

[FondestMemory]

watchmen.

[Broken Parachute]

Tough, very tough. I chose Fahrenheit 451 but it was close between that and Slaughterhouse-Five.

I still need to read On The Road and A Farewell to Arms. I wasn't a big fan of The Catcher in the Rye.

[TooLateF0rRoses]

catcher in the rye will win, although i voted for the great gatsby.

[TJ Wells]

Sons and Lovers is a book I picked up completely at random, and tore through like there was no tomorrow. D.H. Lawrence is incredible.

[Ailite]

Definitely On The Road for me; Jack Kerouac is a brilliant writer and I adore that book
Cathcer In The Rye is a close second for me

[Ravenna]

Slaughterhouse Five

[gloriousmuse]

The Great Gatsby. I was the only person in my Junior class to actually enjoy it.

[airik625]

The Catcher in the Rye. It's my favorite book, ever.

[Bob Payne]

William Faulkner is not represented here; went with Slaughterhouse 5.

[Chemical Love]

Lord of the Flies or Fahrenheit 451

[looksthatkillbn]

For Whom The Bell Tolls is my favorite Hemingway.

[lindZ629]

Catcher in the Rye for now, but I'm currently reading On The Road and it's really good so far.

[Anthony Lutz]

The Catcher in the Rye is so goddamn good.

[Anderson]

No To Kill A Mocking Bird?:-( 1984 then.

[adam289]

1984. I really need to read On The Road.

[AlternateToLife]

So far I've only read 4. 1984 was my favorite followed closely by The Catcher and The Rye. A Farwell to Arms was good not great, and I just hated Lord of the Flies.

[that[Trina]girl]

The Great Gatsby. When I first read it, was around the time I started to love reading and this book had a lot to do with that.
