Reading this was pretty shocking when I read it in middle school. Like the cool cigarette smoking cousin of the fantasy books I loved previously

>The Hobbit and LOTR
And obviously couple simple science-y books, mostly about space or the Interwebz when it was still something new and cool. (I am from an East-European shithole)

Though it was mostly middle school, didn't do much reading in my last years of HS before I wanted to become a writer.

Murakami was pretty good. To anyone who is "18" (aka under 18), he's a very good author to interest young nerdy girls into /lit/ shit, even if they're not really readers. Something like Sputnik Sweetheart or Norwegian Wood.

I got in-school-suspension for reading Michael Crichton aloud to other kids at recess in third grade. I would only ever read the gory death scenes or the spares erotic ones.

LotR.

I'd be more curious about elementary school series instead. But either way. I'll post a ton of my re-reads. Redwall books. I have 5 or 6 I will never tire of reading. I read them almost every year. Enders Game and Ender's Shadow. Also, Harry Potter books.

To be fair though, I just turned 28, so things might be a bit different.

>>9854659
Crichton was another guy I read a lot of. Him and some King. Not quite as edgy and awesome as this dude.

Gonna have to re-read Redwall again.... Hot diggity.

Not really middle school, and I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for this, but I liked the Harry Potter books when I was ten/eleven years old.
