As you know, I recently finished That Old Ace in the Hole, so I need something new to read. I'm moving soon, though, so I can't check a book out of the library. I need something I can take along with me to Florida and not return for several months. Therefore, I just raided the bookcase that holds my mom's collection from when she taught high school English and pulled out the books I might possibly want to read. Which of these have you read? Which one should I choose?
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
That was Then, This is Now by S.E. Hinton
Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin
The Angel Inside Went Sour by Esther Rothman
The Ordeal of Running Standing by Thomas Fall
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
The Bridge over the River Kwai by Pierre Boulle
The Decameron by Boccaccio
(Okay, so it's been a few decades since she taught high school.)
