can you make snickerdoodles without cream of tarter?
Many great books on this listMy 2 suggestions are: Cannery Row by SteinbeckIt's short, an entertaining read a great book by an American masterTaming of the ShrewIt's funny (Watch the movie) and Shakespeare's use of language is magnificentYou also won't have any trouble finding 40 words you don't knowNot the case if you pick 2 rather contemporary books by American authorsI'd also recommend Gone With The WInd, Wuthering Heights,both Wells books, all the Austen, Jane Eyre, Rocket Boys, Things Fall Apart, Steppenwolf, Canterbury Tales the Twain booksI dislike Faulkner think Roll of Thunder is pretty simplistic compared to the rest of this listThe books you have already read are also great.

Voltaire: Candide - short, funny, easy to read Salinger, J.C.-The Catcher in the Rye - same as above Heller, Joseph-Catch-22 - this is absolutly it, quiet long though Tolstoy, Leo-War and Peace - good for emo's: effective, and cleaner than the blade or pills ;) Sophocles-Antigone - u should read it when u were 13! - short and good for sum btw its a very good list, almost all of these have to be read once in a human's life have fun!
I would advise you to go with Dune by Frank HerbertIt's a more modern book than most of those so it might be a little easier to readThe story is also pretty interestingThere are a lot of themes you can write aboutThe balance of politics/religion/ecology seem to be the main emphasis of the book, and it is extremely relevant in today's society I had to read a lot of books for schoolI did my own Senior Author Paper on The Scarlett LetterIt was ok and allBut anyways, I actually read Dune for pleasureIt was pretty enjoyableI wouldn't advise you to read past the first three or four books, thoughFrank Herbert gets a little risqué in his old ageAlso, the Sci Fi Channel adapted a miniseries to DuneIt's fairly faithful to the novel, so you might get a little more out of it by watching the show along with reading the book.
I would personally do Jane Austen (especially PP) but that's because I'm very interested in that time period and the English they usePlus I conider PP the absolute best novel in the worldThe Great Gatsby is great alsoTwelfth Night is hilarious and Catcher in the Rye was very thought provokingFrankenstein is awesome as is Gone With the Wind Stay away from Jane Eyre, Huck Finn, Canterbury Tales, The Scarlett letter
