Some of the ones mentioned here were the very books that stirred my love for reading:
Voltaire's Candide
Flowers for Algernon
On the Road
Catcher in the Rye
Catcher in the Rye was the book that did it for me. I had a cool teacher then and he suggested I read Kerouac's On the Road. It was then that I stopped reading Cliff Notes and started getting more engrossed in books.
I never had the chance to thank him.
