Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. Not your typical high school novel. Not your typical novel in general. But my senior year, my class took a vote during the last semester on what we wanted to read as a class...I suggested two of Palahniuk's books and among the many suggestions of a variety of novels, the class voted Survivor. However, as far as typical high school reading goes, I'd have to say the best was A Separate Peace by John Knowles.

I think every year there is a book that is memorable.
Freshman year- To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
Sophmore year- Animal Farm (George Orwell)
Junior year- The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald)
Senior year- Hamlet (Shakespeare)
Of Mice and Men was good too... and the Crucible.

Grapes of Wrath, for sure. I enjoyed immensely Steinbeck's descriptive senses. His characters were memorable. I was young and immpressionable. It was a wonderful long read to me at that time.

Whoa! That was over 40 years ago. But, I would have to say that the most memorable was probably THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO or H. Rider Haggard's KING SOLOMON'S MINES.

"The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand. Her philosophy is like none other and it'll rock your world. I've reread that book over twenty times and each time I learn something new. Even if you don't agree with her views, her writing style is so fantastic that you won't be able to put the book down.

"Family" by Ba Jin / Pa Chin.
It is the first instalmenrt of three books - Family, Spring & Autumn.
It describes the lives of youths in the turbulent 1920s, the petty burgeouis and their mannerisms and the youths who questioned and fought against the old and decadent ways, some sacrificing themselves, others lost loved ones.
