I'd have to say The book "the outsiders" i read thru it quickly, but its not the type of book youd like ot read more than once. its about a gang of ricj kids who always pick on a gang of poor kids until one of the poor gangs people kill sone of the rich people (he had a reason) And its really good. another good book is "flowers for algernon" which really teaches you values and respect.

Both of these books have movies too. Flowers for algernon has two, but one is called: Charly
