A few that I couldn't put down...

Inspirational:
Greatest Salesman in the World

Fiction:
The Great Gatsby

Non-fiction:
Touching the Void

It couldn’t have ended otherwise. Did you know that Shmoop has a good guideline to this book? It sure helped me to really savor this American classic in all its
Razzmatazz!
