I think it’s interesting that your favorite character is Boo. He was an interesting character, certainly, but I think I liked Atticus more.

I actually finished Catcher in the Rye a few months ago and loved it! As you said, it’s replete with symbolism, and that’s one of the best things I like about it. It’s an interesting take on adolescence and coming of age.

Also, thanks for the book recommendations! I’ll definitely try to look for or mooch ‘em.

Cheers, and again, thanks for dropping by!

It’s a fantastic story, even though I was the only one in my class who actually liked it?

I’d recommend the Book Thief by Markus Zusak, which isn’t a classic, but is very good. I didn’t like the book at all, but a lot of people rave about Catcher in the Rye (and, admittedly, it had some great use of symbolism in it), so you might want to try that. Personally, the narrator grated on me no end.

Personally? I loved Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, but it’s a hefty book, quite hard to read, although once I had got into it, I consumed the rest in a few big mouthfuls. Great stuff, AMAZING story that only ties up at the end, colourful characters. Love it. But, again, lots of hate thrown at it.

Other than that, The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I consider this a bit of a girly book (…because, well, it is), but a fantastic one, so I couldn’t recommend it enough! And, actually, my favourite characters in this were all male anyway, aha, but, then they always are! Give it a try, perhaps?
