We were supposed to read to a certain point for this in english, but i read the whole thing.  This is an amazing short-long story.  It is very touching.  The end is actually saddening.  I strongly suggest anyone to read it.

(Oh, and if you dont know who this is...Prodigy knows me as emo boy.)

lol you are quite emo.

But yes, it's incredibly sad. The movie (it's pretty old) does a good job portraying the book as well.

I suggest Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby as two other books you need to read.

Ahhhhh I hated the book and the movie, ecspecially the hippie part. However paintballfriek is right cather and the rye kicks all, and to kill a mocking bird is also another great book. However my favorite ive read in english would ahve to be of mice and men, right now im reading the good earth not too bad either, but i suggest of mice and men by far

Algernon is a good book, so is Gatsby.

I'm actually in the process of reading Catcher

I called somebody Emo?
You sure you got the right guy? I despise the word Emo with a passion.
Was I kidding? I was I drunk? Was I on crack?
