Interesting list. I've read a few, a few are on my to-read list, I'm going to look up some of the others and maybe add them to my to read list.

David Copperfield - Very entertaining. Dickens is one of the all-time great storytellers. Also great for giving you a feel for England in the mid 1800s.

A Passage to India - boring

The French Lieutenantâs Woman - many people say this is their favorite book. It's on my to-read list.

Lord of the Flies - entertaining and disturbing. You need to read this to understand that pessimistic view of humanity. I don't entirely agree with it, but it's something that everybody needs to think about.

Catch-22 - on my to-read list.

Moby Dick - on my to-read list. But first I want to read his semi-autobiographical novels about jumping ship on a South Sea island and falling in love with a native girl - Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life, Omoo, and Mardi. I think all 3 are available free online.

Cry, the Beloved Country - I read this about 45 years ago. It was very moving. It will make you want to go out and fight prejudice and oppression. After reading it, think about how we're currently treating Mexican immigrants ("illegal aliens").

All the Kingâs Men - on my to-read list. Fictionalized story of Huey Long. Very educational. I also want to see the movie version that starred the great Broderick Crawford. Also the version starring Sean Penn.

Anthem - Rand's short sci-fi novel. Very philosophical and poetical.

Atlas Shrugged - one of my favorite books. Be true to your own values. Don't sacrifice yourself for "mindless slugs." The movie Atlas Shrugged Part 1 is available on Pirate Bay. I think Atlas Shrugged Part 2 is still in theaters.

On the Beach - on my to-read list. I've read another book, Trustee in the Toolroom, by the same author. That was a very entertaining book.

The Grapes of Wrath - one of my favorite books. Also the movie with Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. And The Ballad of Tom Joad by Woody Guthrie.

Here's Henry Fonda delivering the "I'll be there" speech:

Here's Woody Guthrie singing The Ballad of Tom Joad (which includes the "I'll be there" speech).

And, a little off topic, here's Woody Guthrie's Deportees
sung by Woody's hippie son Arlo Guthrie and Emmylou Harris:

Puddânhead Wilson - a white baby and a light-skinned black baby are switched at birth. The white baby raised by blacks grows up to be a good man, while the black baby raised by whites grows up to be a villain. When I read it, I thought it was racist. But after reading Huckleberry Finn, I don't believe Mark Twain was racist. Perhaps his point was that babies are not born good or bad - it's their upbringing that determines their character, and the upbringing of a member of the "master class" is likely to produce a villain.

Huckleberry Finn - I loved the part where Huck concludes, "All right then, I'll GO to hell." That made Huck one of my greatest literary heroes.

Slaughterhouse 5 - loved the movie. Sci-fi about a character who comes unstuck in time and lives his life
in random order. But it's very realistic and serious because it's largely based on Vonnegut's actual experience in World War II. He was a prisoner-of-war in Dresden when it was fire-bombed by the Allies. Afterwards he was on a POW work detail helping to clean up the mess (thousands of civilians burned to death).

This inspired me to write:

"The Nazis won World War II.

Near the beginning of the war, the Nazis attacked England with terrorist bombings of English cities.

By the end of the war, both England and America were firebombing civilian populations.

We occupied the Nazis' territory, but the Nazis occupied our souls.

Can you help me with names for these characters?







The main character's parents expected a boy and were very disappointed that she was a girl. They didn't bother to change the name because they didn't care about her. She is a very independent girl. She is 16 years old. She has wavy auburn colored hair and green eyes. Her parents disown her and she moves in with her best friend. Her friend's mom gives her a diary so she can write to get rid of some of her anger. The book is a diary.

For the main character, I was thinking Elliot with the nickname Ellie, or Jack with the nickname Jackie. but I REALLY need some other suggestions. I need a boys name with a cute nickname.

I also need some suggestions for her best friend's name and her mom's name.

Her friend has straight black hair, brown eyes, tan skin, and is an art student. She is very pretty. She is Spanish and Italian, but I want her name to have Spanish roots, not so much Italian.

Her mom has short black hair, tan skin, brown eyes and is one of the sweetest ladies ever. She moved from Spain when she was 7, so I want her to have a name that reflects that.

Thank you so, so much!!
