Good book to read for 9th grade honors class?

Question

Like the title, prefer a shorter book

Answer 1

Catcher in the Rye

Seventeen

Tom Sawyer

something that interests YOU and that you will enjoy while fulfilling your requirements

Answer 2

"All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. This is an excellent book that illustrates the realities of war during the First World War.

You might want to do a little bit of research before you read it. I haven't read this book but it was suggested to be really good. Check out "The Storm of Steel." I can't spell the author's name but look up the book on Amazon. It's also about the first world war as well.

Answer 3

Either Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley are good ones. They're both really short, but intensely interesting and are considered classics.

Answer 4

I remember using Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men more than once during high school. It was the shortest book I could find and not a bad read at all. However, if you want a fun read, I'd go for Brave New World, one of my all time favorites...(I'm a sucker for an anti-utopian book). good luck.

Answer 5

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut:

I liked Slaughterhouse Five (great antiwar book)
or Cat's Cradle
or Player Piano
(he's written a lot...)

Answer 6

Have at it- you will understand it very well since you are in an honors class- way to go!

Answer 7

I agree.
Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
-and-
Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut

Answer 8

Animal Farm

its short, its a classic, its easy to read/enjoyable and its really all about communism. So in case you have to write a paper about it there'll be LOTS to say

OR you could read

Of Mice and Men

Also a short,enjoyable classic

Answer 9
