The one book I always turn to when a lot is going on is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It is a story about finding yourself and that the treasure isn’t always where you expected it to be. I read this book once a year and will be doing that very soon and you should too!

Toni Morrison is an amazing writer and has many classics under her belt. But Beloved is one that has many consider her magnum opus and a must read. It has changed many people’s lives and storytelling as powerful as this has to be read and shared with everyone you know.

Another fantastic novel is The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead that you have to read. Whitehead has become one of my favorite authors and this is the novel that made me a fan. He is a talented writer and knows how to make his characters feel like someone you have known your entire life.

I don’t know if students are required to read The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger in high school anymore but they should be. While the novel has become outdated, the themes of the novel are still relevant. It is often loved or hated for the same reason but it has a special place in my heart.
