Gee, except for Hitchhiker's Guide, I've never heard of any of these books. When I was a young adult, I was reading Catcher in the Rye, Franny and Zooey, On the Road, Peyton Place, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Rosemary's Baby, This Perfect Day, Boys and Girls Together, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Fanny Hill. And look how well I turned out.
