What five books should everyone read—and why?

1. Catcher In The Rye [J.D. Salinger] This book probably saved my life and I think every teenager who thinks the world is against them should read it and know that they're not the only ones who think that all of society are phonies.
2. Where the Sidewalk Ends [Shel Silverstein]: Kids and adults should read this book and remember it's OK to have an imagination.
3. Green Eggs and Ham [Dr. Seuss] The man taught millions to "don't knock it before you try it"
4. Charlotte's Web [E.B. White] Friends will do whatever it takes to help you out and even when they go away (or die in Wilbur's case) they'll always be with you (or baby spiders like for Wilbur)
5. Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl) If you're good and you're not selfish, you'll get your chocolate factory one day.

4. I want to open my own restaurant when I have enough money, but before I do that I want to travel to Thailand and parts of Latin America and work on mixing those two cuisines together.
