"A film that seems to get more important every year, and I don’t mean that facetiously. I don’t think it’s actually possible to make a flick about high school in the 1970s that surpasses Linklater’s. He did it. It’s done. We all got served. The characters have perfect names too: Pink, Mitch, O’Banion, etc."

"There’s a whole wave of Latin American fiction that I didn’t encounter until later in life. In high school one reads grand narratives like Don Quixote, and Garcia Marquez was the closest to contemporary we got. This felt like watching the movie Ghost World; there’s something very exciting and fun about the quotidian in it."

High school read
I first read this in High school as required reading. It was on the banned book list. No one seems to know that even existed today. Well it did. and this book was on there. But I had a great English teacher who made us read it and my mom whole heartedly approved. Good ol' mom and my teacher. This is a timeless classic, with a lot of childhood nostalgia. Make your teens read it, read it with them, and do a book review at home. This will help your kids understand the English language, give insight into reading comprehension, and is very interesting actually.
