Classic Novels

So I was sitting in my English classroom today. Homeroom had just started so I just sat there, bored. And behind me is this book shelf, with a nice menagerie of books in it. I looked at the top shelf and picked up the novel "The Lord of the flies". I remember that a movie version of it once came on when my dad and I were watching TV one day. But he changed the channel and said he didn't want me watching it; that was six years ago. I guess now that I am now older I should pick the book up sometime during this summer, I've been told that it gives a very shocking insight into human nature. Laying next to Lord of the Flies was A Raisin in the Sun I was about to read the first page but it was a play, and I'm not a big fan of plays. But it too I will pick up sometime in the summer, because the author sees the world from a viewpoint of which I am not familiar.
Right now in English we are reading The Catcher in the Rye and I absolutely love it. And I'm not even sure why. All the protagonist does is give an account of three days wandering around New York City trying to find himself and waste the days leading up till Christmas Vacation. But it is so full of teenage agonist and sorrow and disappointment, that I can identify with. That I can empathize with and reading the pages of the book is in many ways, putting my worries and anxieties on paper. Even though I am only in chapter 10, I already know that I will be sad once I finish it, because there is no more to read.
