Here are ten books that I think are must reads if a person really wants to understand American life. For my money, I think you should have to read all of these in order to qualify to be an American citizen.
1. Look Homeward, Angel. Thomas Wolfe
2. To Kill A Mockingbird. Harper Lee
3. The Grapes of Wrath. John Steinbeck
4. On The Road. Jack Kerouac
5. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain
6. The Catcher In The Rye. J. D. Salinger
7. Of Mice And Men. John Steinbeck
8. One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest. Ken Kesey
9. The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald
10. Trout Fishing in America. Richard Brautigan
If you ain't read 'em, read 'em!
