If you were famous and publishers wanted to make a READ Poster of you to hang in schools across the country, what book would you be reading? My initial thoughts>The Hobbit >Moby Dick>Catcher in the Rye
Dubliners would be a good one too
>>25210672The Time Machine by HG Wells
>>25210672Shogun, hands down
Mein Kampf
>>25210672Chess Story. If it's in schools, I want the book to be small so they don't think reading only giant tomes counts.
It must be a book...>Good>With a distinct title (not too long, potent, memorable)>Preferably with an iconic, recognizable cover>Accessible to high school ages >Somewhat different from the standard mandatory readings
Any Andrei Bitov or Viktor Pelevin book. That will encourage the kids to read soviet and russian postmodernism.
>>25210672Dracula
>>25211528Dig through the ditches, brother.
>>25211528>>25211622Frankenstein is better
>>25211647I don’t agree. I read Frankenstein when I was 13 though so maybe you’re right
