Hello-
	
	None of this necessarily involves JDS, but I'm certain none will mind 
if I get some selfish use out of this list. :)  I'm going away this summer 
for a month and a half, and to appease the eminent boredom I've got a full 
stock of books that I'd like to read and I want some input on them, or any 
suggestions.  I'm a Soph. in High school, 15 years old and just an OK reader. 
I mean, I can read Salinger and Nabocov with little trouble but I have 
trouble tackling other stuff like The Grapes of Wraith, for example. But I 
tried Wuthering Heights, and gave up after awhile then reread it alone at 
school and I was probably the only person in my class to thoroughly 
understand it (and enjoy it!).  I'm wondering if any of the books are a bit 
over my head or worth reading above others, please anything will help. ...

"Idiot" Dostoevsky
"The Fountainhead" Ayn Rand
"Nausea" & "Being And Nothingness"  Jean-Paul Sartre
"The Metamorphosis" Franz Kafka
"The Picture Of Dorian Gray" Oscar Wilde
"Tropic of Capricorn" Henry Miller 
"Americana" & "White Noise" Don DeLillo
"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" Maya Angelou
"Dharma Bums" & "Big Sur" Jack Kerouac
"Naked Lunch" William S. Burroughs
"Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" Tom Wolfe
"1984" George Orwell
"Lord of the Flies" William Golding 
"Catch 22" Joseph Heller
and "Ham and Rye" (something like that) I think by Charles Burk..owski.. (I 
think)

Thanks-  Erinn
