Revolutionary Road
14. Revolutionary Road - Richard Yates, 1962 (first-time reading)
Ohhhh my God. This book is amazing. I can't even write about it properly without going into either an essay or a lot of pictures of people crying with happiness, it's that good. I've spent the last week pleading with all of my friends to read it, with some success as regards my English class. It's amazing. It reminds me of a younger, cooler The Great Gatsby; it has that same sense of everything being completely and meticulously planned and then constructed, of everything down to the slightest detail having been thought out and selected and written perfectly. It is actually perfect. I just want everyone in the world to read it. Please.
