If you were famous and publishers wanted to make a READ Poster of you to hang in schools across the country, what book would you be reading? My initial thoughts

>The Hobbit
>Moby Dick
>Catcher in the Rye

Chess Story. If it's in schools, I want the book to be small so they don't think reading only giant tomes counts.

It must be a book...

>Good
>With a distinct title (not too long, potent, memorable)
>Preferably with an iconic, recognizable cover
>Accessible to high school ages
>Somewhat different from the standard mandatory readings

Any Andrei Bitov or Viktor Pelevin book. That will encourage the kids to read soviet and russian postmodernism.

I don’t agree. I read Frankenstein when I was 13 though so maybe you’re right

Yeah you should go back, you'll probably value the depth of the content more
