As you might be able to tell, I love books that center around Symbolism and problems that most people have even today. My Personal Favorite Novels is One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. The other four are novels, I have picked up and read since I was 7 years old, and I loved every single one of them. I also can not put down "Moby Dick" even though it is an extremely LONG novel, it is still something I can not put down.
