Sorry, Ayn Rand. And, yes, that book is very good. It only got better when everyone else in my English class was like "I dont understand this book, its so confusing."

Are they worth it? Cause I was interested in reading but if its not worth the money I dont plan on buying it, but reading it otherwise.

I'll have to agree with Soundwave about Michael Crichton's books. If you're into science a lot, I'd definitely recommend them. Lets see...Huck Finn is always good. Controversial, but good. I thought Anthem was okay, I understood it and everything, its just I had to read it for school which always takes some of the enjoyment out of things.

I have to read "The Great Gatsby" for english class... could a book be any more boring. As far as I can tell its about an aristocrat from the 1920s who (acording to the teacher) falls in love with his neibor Gatsby. Seriously, its worse than "The Crusible" witch is the book we just finished, and the only reason the crucible is better is because people die... :?
