Flowers for Algernon

"The books that stuck with me are the ones that are heartbreaking: 'Flowers for Algernon,' by Daniel Keyes; 'To Kill a Mockingbird'; and 'Johnny Tremain,' by Esther Forbes. I can still tell you the last line of all of them."

""Flowers for Algernon," by Daniel Keyes, was an influential book for me when I was growing up, and I've found that few people seem to have read it."
