53: The Fault in Our Stars

John Green's The Fault in Our Stars is quite the powerful read.  Chosen as our November selection for our high school book club, this narrative relates the reality of a student in an advanced stage of cancer.

Just a different perspective.  Everyone should read this novel.  Remember, though as you read, this is fiction.  Really.  Fiction.  As in, not true.

One more note, be prepared to really not like the reality of this novel.  I know, I know.  It's fiction.  Just remember, though, be prepared to not like the reality of this novel.

It really is that good.

51: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Interesting book.  I wonder if the movie will compare?
