im looking for a good book

i want a book alot like the catcher in the rye to read.

were about to read 1984 or something by kurt vonegut in class.

Hmm, it's been a long while since I read Catcher in the Rye, so the themes are faint to me, but I've been hooked on Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan/Pia Guerra (graphic novel series), Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore (graphic novel series; I'd recommend the pocket books if you can find them) for the past week, so those are my recommendations.

Try Vernon God Little, by DBC Pierre It's quite a lot like Catcher in the Rye.

or to read alienation from a slightly different perspective, try we need to talk about kevin by lional schriver.

Just finished "Flowers for Algernon" the other week.

And read "Rocket Dreams" this week.

Very different - but both v. interesting and made me think.

Oh my god flowers for algernon. I haven't read that in years.

Must get a copy now.

I like Blueberad by Kurt Vonnegut. But you really need to read Breakfast of Champions first as Bluebeard is the life story of one of the characters in BOC.
