You're right -- pick something classic and short.  How about Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" or Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray" or Crane's "Red Badge of Courage" or a play like "School for Scandal" or "The Critic" (both by Richard Brindsley Sheridan)?

Joseph Heller's "Catch 22" is great. You should also read Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mocking Bird." That is a truly awesome book.

Good luck with it.

Depends on your interests. I used to love to read "chick lit" while edging away from my hardcore books for my Lit major. Chick lit is basically romance-ish books that aren't your moms romance novels. They are about fashion, shopping, dating, sex and etc. and are quick and easy reads. \n\nAnything by Meg Cabot is excellent and then Candace Bushnell of Sex and the City fame.

I would vote for A Midsummer Night's Dream.  It's a great dose of comic silliness with just enough philosophical inquiry into the relationship between dream and reality to give you food for thought.  The last scene alone is worth the price of admission (or rental, or the cost of a good book).

I haven't heard of this particular book, but this past summer I had the pleasure of reading "Twitch and Shout: A Touretter's Tale" by Lowell Handler.\n\nIt's Handler's memoir of a trip looking for people as unique as himself. It's not destined to be a classic, but it sounds like you might find it interesting.

Hatchet, The River, Where the Red Fern Grows, Harry Potter, White Fang, The Indian in the Cupboard, A Wrinkle In Time (there are several books in the series), The Janitor's Boy, Gold Dust, Tuck Everlasting (yes, boys like it too. They like the book better than the movie.) The Time Bike, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil Frankweiler, The Fighting Ground,Call me Francis Tucket. If he's a good reader, try The Westing Game, The Giver, or Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. These are all more advanced. If he is in Gr. 7 and a good reader, these will be doable.\n\nThis should get you started. CHeck with the school librarian or the public library. Happy reading!

What?  Do you need a poem about the book?  Does it have to be one that is made up or can you find one that relates to the topic?  \nMake that a little clearer please....

Without a doubt, it's To Kill a Mockingbird.  Every so often, I will re-read it and it blows me away every time.\n\nI also love anything by Stephen King, Harlan Coben and Robert Crais.

Handmaids Tale is a great book with great concepts.  I have taught this book along with Orwell's 1984 and others for my senior english lit class.  \nThe book has a great deal to do with takeovers of society, the impact of inaction/action in society, and women's rights.  I enjoy teaching it to seniors because they are all turning 18 at the time (voting age) and they are inspired to vote to prevent government from taking over, or even burning books like in Bradbury's Farenheit 451!  \nIt is also great to use in debating!  Have fun.

If you want insight into the book, take a look at the 260 book reviews people have posted on Amazon.com about it.  If you just don't want to be bothered reading it, their enthusiasm might make you realize that you are missing something really good.
