<p>I took a course on Gabriel Garcia Marquez last semester. It was pretty cool…we read almost all his works (and spent a significant amount of time on One Hundred Years of Solitude, as you can imagine).</p>
<p>We had to do a senior research paper on a book last year. I did “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac. I don’t know if it’s old enough to rightfully be considered a classic yet, but it did have quite an impact on popular culture and counterculture that followed it. It was a really interesting and fun paper to research.</p>
<p>I know a lot of people aren’t fans of “Catcher in the Rye,” but that’s one of my favorite books. I like Salinger’s writing. I’m reading “Franny and Zooey” right now.</p>
