As we run our basketball camp this week, we have been holding book talks with the counselors (high school and college kids) during lunch. (Sounds boring, but that's what English teachers do.) Anyway, it's a sharp group -- including one kid going to Brown and another, a rising senior, looking at Williams and Amherst. One of them asked us what's the best book we have ever read. We brought up classics like The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, as well as the completely underrated Siddhartha. But we quickly added that two absolutely fantastic books that are "non-classics" are Jaws and The Fan.
