Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

A fun little book, I do have to wonder why this particular kid's book became a long-standing classic over any other. I suppose that's just the way things go. I do suggest you read it.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

An excellent book with a mediocre ending. I think if Ray had just left out the parts well after the river, it would have been a top-notch book.
