Kurt Vonnegut: "Slaughter House 5" "Breakfast of Champions"

J.D. Salinger: "Catcher in the Rye"

Never read Breakfast of Champions, though it was mentioned about 1,000 times in all my creative writing classes in college. Should have found the time to read it by now.

Catcher in the Rye is a classic. In fact, I would say read that before Grapes of Wrath as it is quick, interesting, and pretty damn funny.
