The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
4.0
this book still makes me want to read Gone with the Wind and drink Pepsi
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
3.0
While I can understand the significance and almost clairvoyance of this novel when it was releases and even the eerie predictions it made nowadays, I found many sections in this book slow and a slog to get through.
Great ending though!

Dracula by Bram Stoker
3.0
The atmosphere in this book is so palpable and has yet to be matched by any horror i’ve read since reading this. It was slow but so enjoyable.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
3.0
Bradbury enjoys a good rain after an atomic bomb-ravaged city, doesn't he? There Will Come Soft Rains, anyone?
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
3.0
I don’t know, I think the plot of the book is way more interesting than the delivery. I thought the delivery was very slow and a bit boring, but the idea of a country made up of genetically cloned and engineered citizens (down to the last detail) is terrifying. I just wish there was more unrest in this world, but I guess that’s what makes it more horrifying.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
4.0
Okay... that was stunning. Was it supposed to be funny? I laughed out loud more times than I could count on both hands. I loved how self-absorbed Dorian Gray was, he was so interesting. I need to read Wilde’s plays now.
Joyland by Stephen King
3.0
My first King novel will forever be a classic to me. I read this to-and-from a summer session class I took in college on the bus, which added a lot to the atmosphere of the book for me. Although it isn't the best King novel I read storywise, it is still pretty great to me. I plan on reading again in the future.
