<p>I prefer books that has decent amount of vocabulary,and a interesting story.
Are these books listed worth to read?
Huckleberry Finn
The Jungle
Grapes of Wrath
Catch-22
Animal Farm</p>
<p>Edit: is it a good idea to re-read books within a year
Most of the books are read for school.
Great Gatsby
uncle tom
scarlet letter
Lord of the flies</p>
<p>English teachers and professors re-read books, don’t really recommend it otherwise. As to the first five you list, each has a very different theme and writing style from the other. Catch-22, set in WWII, is perhaps the best satire/humor book ever written and the writing style borders on schizophrenic. Huck Finn is Mark Twain and virtually anything by Twain is satire and humor and captures the people and venacular of his time. Animal Farm (by George Orwell who also wrote 1984) is satire but not really humorous; he uses farm animals to go after totalitarian govenrments; it is also fairly short and thus does not take long to read. Grapes of Wrath aptly lays out the depression of the 1930’s and people coping with it but many find it boring. Likewise, the Jungle, which is closer to fact than fiction and lays out the plight of the lower working class of the early 1900s. </p>
<p>If I were chosing to read those five, Catch-22 would be far and away at the top of the list followed by Animal Farm and Huck Finn, and then I would just put the other two on the shelf and make English professors (and sociology professors for the Jungle) think I had actually read them.</p>
<p>SO reading these/analyzing them helps with CR?</p>
