Oh, that sounds fantastic, I will add it to my "TBR" pile!AvidReader76 wrote: ↑05 Jul 2010, 16:05 Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the book club. I just finished reading "The Picture Of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde for the first time. I was supposed to read it in High School many moons ago but never did or at least I don't recall that I did. This book is extremely Candid, about Life and Differences between Men and Womyn. I learned alot about Life and Love from this book. I do recommend this novel to anyone who loves fiction and classic lit. Now I've started further on my list of classic books to read and am reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Happy Reading Everyone! 7-5-2010

Another excellent book for the classroom is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Set in the future, this story examines themes of technology, desensitisation from emotion and societal control as people struggle with their own individual freedom in an oppressive world where pleasure reigns supreme.
Finally, one must not forget The Catcher In The Ryeby J D Salinger. A timeless coming-of-age story that follows Holden Caulfield’s journey from innocence to maturity while facing the risks associated with growing up too quickly can be extremely insightful when discussed among students or asked on tests within the class itself!
