From B, pick the Bluest Eye – by Toni Morrison! I read it this past year in ninth grade for school, and it was really…interesting. The author has an interesting style of writing, and she keeps you interested. It’s kind of graphic though (rape, and a lot of sex). But some of the characters are so memorable.
