The only book I think everyone should read is To Kill a Mockingbird.

I think it's all downhill after "Green Eggs and Ham"
Seriously though: 1984 The Grapes of Wrath To Kill a Mockingbird Of Mice and Men Oh the Place You'll Go (yes.....Dr. Suess) |

Laurie where is your list?
It makes me sad for humanity when anyone puts down anyone else for reading any kind of book. |

I don't see any stipulation in this thread that the books recommended have to be hugely deep/literary/life changing. If people want to recommend Harry
Potter because they enjoy it then they should go ahead and do that.
It makes me sad for humanity when people get judged for enjoying a fun read. Not everything has to be War and Peace. |

I am pleased to see so many people saying To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch is my hero.

Why are some of you getting your panties in a bunch? The OP asked what five books *you* think everyone should read. Just cause it's not a classic
doesn't mean it's not a good book. FFS. Everyone has their own taste.
