Scarlett Johansson’s 5 Favorite Books

2. Middlemarch by George Eliot
3. Marjorie Morningstar by Herman Wouk
4. The Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl
5. Summer Crossing by Truman Capote

Commentary

This list includes some great novels. The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger is a great coming of age novel that readers either love it or hate it. Personally, I think it is a good read and I decided to give it a reread after seeing it in many people’s lists. The novel holds up well and there is a lot to take away from the book. And yes, the novel feels outdated but it still has a lot of things to say that few books have done since this novel was first published.

Besides the Salinger novel, I haven’t read any other novels on Scarlett Johansson’s list unfortunately. I hope that changes by the end of this year. Middlemarch by George Eliot is a classic and while I have seen it a lot, I have never gotten around to reading it.

Another novel/author I haven’t read much of is Roald Dahl besides The Chocolate Factory. I have seen many people say they like Dahl’s novels and that makes me feel like I am missing out. Which novel should I read first?

Conclusion

Overall, I think this a great list because it contains a lot of novels that many people have and have not read. It is has a good variety of novels and has helped me add more books to me to-read list. Which novels have you read or would like to read?
