I just finished reading La Nausée by Jean-Paul Sartre in French, the language I'm learning in High School right now. It was one of the most interesting books I have ever encountered, even though I have studied existentialism quite a lot, it basically renovated my entire philosophy of life. But I realized something very profound after finishing it. I am a total moron.
Before that, I hadn't read a book (aside from school required books, which I only skim marginally to ace the tests) for almost 5 months. This is a problem, as I am missing out on a lot of stuff. Lurking on random internet forums when I can't sleep late at night is not a good substitution for reading novels. So this is where you come in, I need suggestions.
What are some great books you've read, and what kind of person would enjoy them? I seriously need to expand my reading list.
