I read Flowers for Algernon as an adult. It hit me hard. I have since heard that it is read i school many places in the US.
Edit: I've only read the novel he wrote based on the short story, but I guess the short story is equally as good since it won the Hugo award while the novel won the nebula award.
Yep, while I dont remember the book, I remember reading it
It's really good. I've recommended it to many people before and every one who read it loved it. But it kind of leaves you with a bruised soul for a while after you're done.
