The most amazing book I think I may have ever read, I'm reading right now. It's a children's book - supposedly - but it is so completely and utterly important.
If you have a chance to read Lois Lowry's The Giver, do so at your first opportunity. It's a fast read.
Oooooo. I remember The Giver. Good for you :)
Been a long while. I read it in 7th grade. That was like, 8 years ago!
=) Damn, I wonder if I still have my copy of The Giver around here somewhere.
No dialogue about literature would be complete without a reference to my
current favorite by Marquez.
