The Sun Also Rises by Hernest Hemingway: I could really relate to this book since I grew up in Spain. I really enjoyed this book, although I was a little bit disappointed in the end, the end wasn’t what I was expecting.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: I read this book during my junior year. At first I didn’t really like it, but I ended up liking it in the end.
The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger: At first I had my doubts about this book, but halfway through the book, I started to really enjoy it and could not put it down. The end was really surprising.
One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: I red this book this summer, I had wanted to read this books for some years now, but never got around. I read this book in spanish.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach: My father made me read this book a couple years back. At first I didn’t enjoy it at all, but by the end I really did. This is probably the first book that challenged me intellectually.
Micki--good list, and the Spanish setting was a strong inducement for Hemingway (and I think everybody is a little disappointed with the ending--it's written that way, I think). Also your comment about Marquez got us talking about your language background, so that was a good thing. Thanks for the list.
