I enjoyed:
The Great Gatsby - Come on, old sport, this was an entertaining battle between old money and new money. And Nick reminds me of myself, always the observer, never the participator. But I do think this shouldn't be the 'great American novel' that so many claim it to be. The Grapes of Wrath should be reserved for that honor. But Gatsby's contradictions and witticisms alone were enough for me to like it.
Of Mice and Men - The dynamic between George and Lenny was great. This book actually made me feel an emotion, so it can't be all that bad.
The Scarlett Letter - Only good because Hawthorne has a very distictive style of writing. Also the demon references toward the child were very interesting. Too bad the back cover told me who the father was before I even started. Oh well.
Lord of the Flies - Not for everyone, but the statement about man's savagery is pretty powerful. Simon was my favorite.
