I read catcher in the rye when i was in high school and its probably still one of my favorite books.

I know many people seem not to like it and say it doesn't hold up with age, but for me it was perfect. The theme of loss of childhood innocence is fantastic and one less discussed in main stream literature.

Its one of the few books that have really effected me on a deep emotional level. Whenever I see a child's birthday party or children playing I think about the book and the emotional state it left me in. I lack the words to describe this feeling but it is one fairly similar to bliss or perhaps a great content. They have been some of the happiest moments of my life. It really allows me to put all the hate and atrocities through out the world into perspective. Im not sure why im writing this, but I have never told another human this and i felt i should to say it.

The Long Walk, anyone? Kind of builds around the situation but it is a pretty engaging Stephen King book imo.

I'd hesitate to call it good; but for people who are reading YA anyway reading Looking For Alaska and then Paper Towns as a self-criticism/deconstruction of the former would be worthwhile.

Seconding this, most of the world-description is in the background as well so you have to pay attention.
