Most Memorable Books

Here are some of my most memorable books that I have read over the years of my life.

1.  Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements
When I first read this book, it absolutely struck me as one of the most interesting books I've ever read.  Of course I was much younger, but still to this day I have always enjoyed that book.  It is basically the first somewhat long book I read that was absolutely intriguing.

2.  Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Having read this book last year in English class, I found that Holden Caulfield and his world was astonishing in the sense that it was something that I have never found in a book before.  It was different to the very core from anything else, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

3.  Just Me and My Dad
This is by far the most memorable children's book that I have, and it has an extraordinary signifance for me and my childhood, the reason being that every time I would read this book before I would go to bed I would read it with my dad.  I always read it that way, and I never read it alone.  It was and still is a great book with very important sentimental value that connects me with my childhood.

4.  The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
This book is a favorite because of the fact that the world that Huckleberry Finn lives in is defined by rules, guidelines etc. but he and his friends that he has take the story to a new level because they defy the rules and make the world their own in their own fashion.  The book is very relatable.

5.  The Phantom Tollbooth
I enjoyed reading this book because the world which exists in the book is completely made up and absolutely not real.  This type of thinking outside the box is very interesting for me, and this book appealed to that interest.
