Five Books You Must Read in This Lifetime

Reading Catcher in the Rye made me think about the books that I've read with the potential to change a life. That in mind, here are the five books that I believe everyone must read. I'd be interested to hear what others have to say.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau
Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy
The Captain's Verses by Pablo Neruda
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis by Jose Saramago

From the Blogs…

Student Blogs

Quick note. For those of you still working on blogs (and that means everyone who has missing assignments), I think I have finally found a really easy system to use. If you are not using the WordPress blogs in the separate folder, you can write blog entries by clicking on "MyBlog Dashboard" on the menu on the left. You just need to be signed in. The only catch? Make sure that you publish your entries!

That said, there are a few interesting posts for you to take a look at or even comment on:

peacefreak77 explores "books," focusing on Catcher in the Rye, 1984, and Brave New World
