Of Mice And Men
This book is highly recommended (by Americans). Once you have read it, you'll never forget it!
This novel was written by a Nobel-prize author so "Of Mice And Men" has always been among the greatest ones of American Literature.
It is not a love story but a lifelong friendship, telling a moving story of two migrant workers with their "American dream".
This novel has been very controversial since it was published in 1937 and there is also a very great film (same name) based on the novel. You should watch that movie as well.
