Louis Sachar's Reading List

"McMurphy from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Flawed, larger than life, yet still very real."

"I was surprised I had never heard of it, although given our country's history, I suppose I shouldn't have been so surprised."

""The Overstory," by Richard Powers. I'll never see a tree the same way again."

"I'm rereading "The Magus," by John Fowles. I remember loving it when I first read it almost 50 years ago, so I wanted to see if it still holds up for me."

"I came across "In Our Town," by Damon Runyon, which contained short, simple and charming stories about the various people of an imaginary town."
