Read it... Read it NOW!!
I just finished a book I've been meaning to read for a while, 'Flowers for Algernon'. It is awesome. Seriously, people, read this book.
Here's the blurb-
"Charlie Gordon, IQ 68, is a floor sweeper, and the gentle butt of everyone's jokes, until an experiment in the enhancement of human intelligence turns him into a genius. But then Algernon, the mouse whose triumphal experimental transformation proceeded his, fades and dies, and Charlie has to face the possibility that his salvation was only temporary."
While this book is Sci Fi, it's soft Science Fiction, exploring humanity and the human condition rather than anything else. It's left me awestruck, and I couldn't put it down. I had to finish it. I had to know what happened to him.
I'm gunna stop before I start hitting people over the head...
