(Richard Wright)
The Kite Runner
(Khaled Hosseini)
The Secret Life of Bees
(Sue Monk Kidd)
Go Tell It on the Mountain
(James Baldwin)
The Glass Castle
(Jeannette Walls)
The Lovely Bones
(Alice Sebold)
The Chosen
(Chaim Potok)
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
(Betty Smith)
The Power of One
(Bryce Courtenay)
The Red Badge of Courage
(Stephen Crane)
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
(Maya Angelou)
I've heard from my friends that Black Boy and The Lovely Bones are pretty good but I'm not exactly sure and I still need one more.
I was wondering which of these books are the most enjoyable to read? Thank you
Edit: So far planning on reading Kite Runner and the Glass Castle because they seem to be very very good so thanks for telling me that! I need one more book though so anymore suggestions?
Edit 2: Ok thanks I've choosen the two above and The Secret Life of Bees! Thanks for the help basilers!

i heard a ton of good things about kite runner, but i never read it myself lol.
i was supposed to read the lovely bones too, but i didn't. it seems kinda interesting too.
usually, i just check out how many pages each book has and read the shortest ones lol
I'm glad knowing humanity still has teens who read books
@East Ok thanks I'm planning on those two then
@IceMage11 Secret Life of Bees actually sounds sort of interesting to me so I might choose that as the third so thanks!
The Glass Castle is good short read, but I'd go with Kite Runner
@RitoPls I read a summary of Kite Runner and it sounds interesting so I'll read that one, but I can't really tell what The Glass Castle is about could you give me like a brief summary? And The Red Badge of Courage sounds ok to me I might read it depending on the other choices
@Tweety I read a summary but I can't tell what it's about
@Schokoshake Yeah I'm gonna read that thanks for suggesting
@IceMage11 The Secret Life of Bees sounds really lame to me tbh sorry but I'll read a summary and yeah I don't plan on choosing Lovely Bones thanks for the suggestions!
Heard great things about The Kite Runner and The Secret Life of Bees. I read The Lovely Bones and it was okay. kind of boring though and it took me a while to finish it.
You shall read The Kite Runner. It's what will be so.
I am currently reading The Glass Castle, it is really interesting.
The Kite Runner and The Glass Castle are good. Definitely read The Kite Runner.
The Red Badge of Courage would be my third one.
