I love books! So it was a pretty difficult decision as to what book to recommend. It was a toss-up between a favorite classic and a favorite contemporary book - that being The Hunger Games series. Hehe. Okay, so, the latter is a little bit childish for my liking. But it was the only series I got to read in one week, three times, and in e-copy.
I love The Catcher in the Rye because I read it as a teenager. And I could pretty much relate to the angst of Holden. Albeit, he lives the life of the rich, and at many times while reading, I kept asking, how could he? How could he feel such malcontent? How could he throw it all away? While there I was, painstakingly working for things I wanted. Things I know not handed in silver platter. Haha! Enough.
I still love you, Holden. :)
UPDATE:
Alot and I were talking again. And it was about the recent book she read, The Fault in Our Stars. The title came from Hamlet, I'm not exactly sure who said it, since I find reading Old English terribly difficult. But the novel, the story, as I've read from Wikipedia, is about a girl with cancer. I might pick it up one of these days. But as it is, I got my hands too full.
