"When a person's soul is born in a country, nets are flung at it to hold it back from flight. You speak to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly past those nets." - James Joyce
Sweet contest Rico :thumbup: Tough question :think: . One of my favorites is East of Eden by John Steinbeck. To be in high school and have already found books and Pearl Jam you're doin' a-ok!!!
Just finished reading this based on a recommendation from a friend and absolutely loved it! Fantastic read that at times will spin your head in thought.
Thanks for entering everybody, this seems to be my best one yet! Lets see if we can get more replies then Dimitris does......

...and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles...
and he's still strong
nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he's home
and we're laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend...

Picking a favorite book is like picking a favorite child! But for the sake of naming just one, I'll go with
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo...wait, Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez...wait, The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky...um, I mean...To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee...or, there's always The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck...
Only one book? That is hard.
Catcher in the rye, Dark tower series (especially # 5), catch 22... Too many to choose from.
I am also really enjoying "this all encompising trip" at the moment.
Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

Gonna go with The Lord of the Rings
second place would be Lord of the Flies
It's hard to pick a favorite book...it would probably be The Red Tent...close second would be Catcher in the Rye.
Crooked Little Vein. Introduced me to a little thing called "saline balls."
