<p>Read Kafka. Personally I hold “The Trial” to be his best work, but many of his short stories are also very good!</p>
<p>Hey I read “A Confederacy of Dunces” in class. All the characters are soo funny, especially Miss Trixie</p>
<p>For SAT purposes, Catch-22 and Fountainhead. Definitely not any Salinger, I don’t see how Catcher or Franny would be challenging enough.</p>
<p>Life Death Legend of Jim Morrison
In Cold Blood</p>
<p>thanks to those who recommended catcher in the rye. I just finished it and it was an amazing book- one of my favorites :)</p>
<p>WHAT is the best ,DEFINATE best u have ever read 4 SAT???</p>
<p>The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas). I’m recommending it for enjoyment as well as intellectual stimulation (lots of SAT words!)</p>
<p>omg, The Count of Monte Cristo is AMAZING!!! ce livre </p>
<p>oui, je souhaite que je le lisais en fran</p>
<p>awsome thread guys.</p>
<p>though it dissapoints me how i read so few books throughout my life so far. i missed out on a lot of great stuff. now i’m so busy. wtvr. i’m happy. it’s new years anyways.</p>
<p>i’m going make some changes. i’m gonna read this year:
catch22
scarlett letter
1984</p>
<p>kudos!</p>
<p>how long is Catch-22? is it worth reading? i wanna read it.</p>
<p>i borrowed scarlet letter yesterday. trying to finish it today before school starts. </p>
<p>i’m like 1/2 way through. the book goes very slowly and exhaustively expatiates every friggin detail. lotta sat vocab and repeats a couple many times (ie: lurid, infamy, ingnimony) many complex sentences that take up like 5 lines with perchance 2 or 3 semicolons! </p>
<p>ihope the the plot gets more interesting in the second half. </p>
<p>this is not really a guy’s book. but maybe soomeone interested in new england history. that’s definitely not me unfortunately.</p>
<p>but definintely awesome for vocab!</p>
<p>personally, i thought the book got very juicy in the second half. hope you enjoy it too!</p>
<p>wow. the second half of scarlet letter got very succulent indeed!</p>
<p>overall, i recommend the book. the first half was TOO descriptive and boring.</p>
