can we get an /easybutgreat/ thread going? I need some easy reads, ones with insanely accessible prose, clearly presented plots and characters, yet still maintain some sense of uniqueness and quality. So no Hunger Games type stuff
I'll start with this. It's short, simple, funny, and still moving in a way that ends with thematic catharsis

Joseph Torres
so pretty much high school-core
Great Gatsby is really good IMO. Lord of the Flies too
Gabriel King
never understood the love of Gatsby. Seems to me to be about nothing. Don't know why I can't put my finger on it; I mean it's good drama and romance but then again so is 99% of the western canon
