>My daughter just finished The Catcher in the Rye. It was required reading this year along with The Illiad and The Odyssey. She had to read Brave New World, Animal Farm, and 1984 last year. Not bad for the Bible Belt...

I'm a Salinger fan, so I'd recommend anything he's written. "Franny and Zooey" is my favorite. In fact, my youngest son Zack was named after Zooey.
