1. Phantom Tollbooth - I just remember loving this book. I think it is because the book is very clever. I specifically recall the conclusion island which characters could jump to.
2. Flowers for Algernon - I first read a shortened version of this book in middle school. I liked it so much that I got the full book and read it right away. It was very sad, but I also found it moving and thought-provoking.
3. To Kill a Mockingbird - To me, this book was so interesting and unique. Usually, I am more of a fan of mysteries and fantasy; however, this piece captured me attention.
4. Life of Pi - I read this book a long time ago but I really enjoyed its style and plot.
5. Harry Potter - every single one ever!!!!
6. Lord of the Rings - every single one ever!!!!!!
7. Chronicles of Narnia - every single one ever!!!!!
8. Count of Monte Cristo - I loved this book! I became very engaged with the main character and I couldn't wait for him to succeed in his tricky plot.

Mack, most of your other titles have appeared on at least some of the lists of your classmates, but I've been waiting for someone, anyone, to mention the Phantom Tollbooth, and you're the first one I found. The wit and wordplay and cleverness in that story always appeal to a certain kind of reader, and I'm glad to know that you are such a one.
