Their Eyes Were Watching God. It's a great story about a woman who is married three times and each husband is different. It makes us think about what we are really looking for in a marriage and what makes for a good marriage. Surprisingly, it's not what we think. Sure we want 'love' but what does that mean? How important is money? or stability? or a spouse who is faithful to only us? or a spouse who won't hit or abuse us? This book covers it all, and it has a great ironic twist at the end.

I'd probably say "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. It was great. It was different than anything I ever read in high school. It was amazing. My favorite quote from it is "to stay or to go, it amounted to the same thing."

I really enjoyed "A Tree Grows in Brooklynn" by Betty Smith. It was very different from the life I was living and very touching at times.
