Most Memorable Books #2

The most memorable books I can recall include The catcher In the Rye, The Jungle, The Killer Angels, Night, and, from when I was younger, the action series Alex Rider. To start off, the Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider series was the first series of novels that had ever gotten my attention. When I first read Eagle Strike in the seventh grade, (I didn't initially read them in order) I was captured by the foreign and audacious adventures  of a teenage spy. I then had to read the rest of the series up until about two years ago. Night by Elie Wiesel was definitely a profound and powerful novel which seized my emotions. In US History last year, I luckily had the chance to get The Killer Angels under my belt. This novel is simply the epitome of a solid, well written piece of work. The vibrant, diverse characters makes one feel like they have traveled back in time and are being told the story of the civil war by the characters in person. The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, was another work which helped me gain more knowledge of the American experience and American history. I have come to love the study of American history and to uncover the roots of our present country. The Jungle and The Killer Angels have certainly aided me in my search. And lastly there's The Catcher In the Rye. Sometimes I can see a bit of myself in Holden Caulfield. Some of these aspects I can be proud of and others I may not. But, all in all, The Catcher In the Rye, made me think more about the world around me and also made me ask myself if I was looking at the world in the right way, so The Catcher In the Rye was definitely a book I was not going to forget.
