Can anyone give me any book recommendations that fit in this criteria?
tC
I really enjoyed the books The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill a Mockingbird. I guess I like books of whatever category those would fit into, as well as mysteries. I'd also like to read books with references to cities like New York and Los Angeles. Thanks!
Answer
Oooh...the Bildungsroman, or "coming of age" stories.
There's...Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers, I guess called in English the Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe, I liked that one. Also the Lord of the Rings, if you're up for a long read (3 books)
