Son de esos libros que son lecturas obligatorias en las escuelas pero que acaban gustando demasiado tiene una historia interesante y con su clásica enseñanza al final.

I went into this not knowing the plot, just that it was popular. I was easily roped into this world that questioned morality and what is means to be a good person in connection to vanity. Though there are mentions of the n word and claiming objects from communities as your own, it fed into the greed the book was highlighting. The ending is thought provoking. Leaves everything needed to be said, said.

I knew this was going to be a favorite from this point alone: 
When I find that I am growing old, I will kill myself.

but this is also an honorable mention 
To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.
